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
