I brewed a blueberry oatmeal stout about 8 weeks ago. It is kegged up and ready to go. I pulled my first beer and the body just isn't where I would like it and the sweetness needs to be increased (blueberries a little too tangy).

I was thinking of pulling about 2 quarts out, adding 1 lbs of lactose then putting it back into the keg. Are there significant significant problems with doing this and are there potential off flavors I will run across doing this?
 
One pound seems excessive to me. Pull one pint from you keg and add a measured amount of lactose to it. Start small and keep track of how much it take to get to your sweet spot. Then scale up for a full keg. A cornie is roughly 40 pints. Let us know how it turns out.
