It won't help you - but did you format it with mkfs.btrfs, while it was mounted?
mkfs.btrfs behaves very dangerously here.
For example, we have a block device in use:
# cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/md0 partition 10233276 0 -1
mkfs for other filesystems will refuse to touch it, because it's in use:
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/md0
mke2fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)
/dev/md0 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!
# mkfs.xfs /dev/md0
mkfs.xfs: cannot open /dev/md0: Device or resource busy
mkfs.btrfs doesn't see a problem in creating a filesystem on a mounted block device:
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/md0
