Checking 'dmesg' was the answer. It showed that the drive WAS being seen. I did a manual mount and everything worked properly. I also did the same with another 2TB drive with NTFS. Again, a manual mount worked. This tells me the difference between the 1TB and 2TB drives is in the way auto-mount handles them. Since I can get what I need working, I'm not going to persue the matter furfher.
Thanks for the help.
