Try:
 1) Unplugging the USB drive.
 2) Plug it back in.
 3) Try "dmesg | tail -20".
 4) Look at the output should look something like the below.
 5) Note the "sdb" part.  Yours may not be sdb -- it may be something
    else.  Say it's "sdc".
 6) Do "mount /dev/sdc1 /usb0" ; then, try "mount /dev/sdc /usb0"

Tell me how it goes.
