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
