I understand it, but see ambiguity in the word "should".  Easy enough to 
rewrite:

BUGS
This utility does not work on active file systems.

Now here's my challenge to PJ: use send-pr(1) or the web PR interface at 
http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html to submit this as a doc bug report.

That's how FreeBSD gets better, and how you help the next person in the 
same situation.
