What happens if you boot the *same* box from Knoppix CD and inspect
dmesg , /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab (look at mounted/unmounted situations)
(I assume the other OSes that could mount the USB drive were running on
different hardware?)
If above works look at relevant lines(/dev/sd.. ) in fstab and mtab and
you may be able to extract information you can then test on RedHat 9
(well, if RH9 sees it at boot)

I haven't modified /etc/fstab or /etc/mstab. I just have a shell script that
executes 'mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb'. It tries sda1 first, if that
fails it rolls over to sdb1. This way I can rotate drives and usb ports
easy.

Recently we swapped external enclosures on one of the hard

However,
any other system will mount the drive fine. (tried with OS X
and
Fedora). I would like to avoid updating the file servers OS
