mount: you must specify the filesystem type

Is the vfat module loaded? You might want to check the filesystem type with "file -s /dev/sdb1". Also are you able to access the files on any other system? If the data on the usb drive is not important, then try formatting it. "mkdosfs /dev/sdb1" will create a fat16 filesystem while mke2fs will create an ext2 partition.
