Can you mount it read-only (-o ro)?

mount /media/backup/:


sudo mount -o ro /dev/sdc2 /mnt/
mount: /dev/sdc2 already mounted or /mnt/tmp/ busy

mount: /dev/disk/by-id/usb-WDC_WD30_00JB-00KFA0_0-part2 already mounted or /media/backup busy

Maybe.  I hope this actually helps.

Have you tried unmounting it, perhaps using the -n (don't write mtab) or -f (force unmount, usually useful with unreachable NFS server mounts, but who knows?). This may clear the kernel's bad mount info and allow you to then mount the drive.
