Do this:

sysctl kern.securelevel

If this number is greater than 0, you can't change the immutable or
append-only flags on any file.  See init(8) manpage for more information.

The only way to solve this problem is to boot to single-user mode,
install the kernel, then reboot again.  (While you're in single-user
mode you might want to consider turning off the securelevel feature,
because it's not really useful for anything besides a server.)
