Yeah, check the manpage. :
DIAGNOSTICS
Badsect refuses to attach a block that resides in a critical area or is
out of range of the file system. A warning is issued if the block is al-
ready in use.
ie. you have the equivalent of a bad sector in your FAT (to use DOS lingo).
In the error messages you posted earlier, you also have the block number
within the slice. You'll have to repartition inside the slice to avoid that
block, which means a backup and reinstall if it's something important
like /usr.
