I looked at that FAQ page, and right underneath where it lists that
command it says the following:

Note: The -w option of sysctl(8) is deprecated and silently ignored in
FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE and all newer versions. You can safely ommit it when
setting options with sysctl as shown above.

I'd give it a try with out the '-w' flag.  Although I don't know if it'll fix
your issues.  Just maybe a step in the right direction.
