umount /scr09
umount /scr10
gjournal stop da2.journal
gjournal stop da4.journal

** had not done this on the first attempt
newfs /dev/da1
newfs /dev/da3

This is not needed.

gjournal label -v /dev/da2 /dev/da1
gjournal label -v /dev/da4 /dev/da3

newfs -J -L scr09 /dev/da2.journal
newfs -J -L scr10 /dev/da4.journal

mount /scr09
mount /scr10

Don't know how your /etc/fstab looks like, but you definiately should
use 'async' mount option, which is safe to use with gjournaled file
systems.

it is looking much better so far. before, i was getting this in the debug (only 
on /scr10) and my mountd process was always the top process

It happens sometimes under load, haven't investigated yet what exactly
is happening, but you can ignore it for now, it's harmless, it just
means journal switch will be done a bit later.

BTW. 8GB for journals is much. You should not need more than 2GB
probably. Of course it will work with 8GB just fine.
