When I run "mount /dev/hdb1 /home/carl/drive2" I get:
mount: /dev/hdb1 already mounted or /home/carl/drive2 busy

I also tried "mount -t auto /dev/hdb1 /home/carl/drive2" with the same message.

What am I doing wrong?

You need to mount the actual Logical Volume, rather than the drive; ie. You can't mount the LVM partition directly. A simple

  # mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 /home/carl/drive2

should mount the logical volume under /home/carl/drive2

As you can see from the lvdisplay program, you have two logical volumes on /dev/hdb

When I run that I get:

/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 looks like swapspace - not mounted
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
