One thing that did differ, though, shortly after I sent this first
email, magically the drive started working properly. I was able to
mount disks perfectly. However, I had to reboot for some reason or
another, and the problem came back and has stayed with me ever since.
As far as I know I didn't do anything to make it work when it did, it
just "started working", which isn't an answer I like, but that's all I
can say.... :-)
