I've had bad RAM in some of my OpenSolaris boxes before and the bad RAM has 
caused ZFS to detect "phantom disk errors" when I do zpool scrubbing (i.e. ZFS 
detects that there's an error somewhere in the process of reading data from the 
disk and checksumming it).

I recommend try testing the RAM with the latest version of memtest 86. Also, 
try running OpenSolaris with different sticks of RAM and see if the errors go 
away. I had one machine where memtest said everything was ok, but as soon as I 
took out one of the sticks of RAM, all the disk errors disappeared. I 
subsequently replaced that stick of RAM with a brand new stick and the errors 
didn't come back when I did the zpool scrubs and I've been error free ever 
since.
