I am not sure what was going wrong then, but I now have this working, both
with a Myson-based chipset device (ATA->USB) as well as a JMicron-based
device (SATA->USB).

I am not sure whether this is a factor, but I also added a USB v2 PCI card
to the box (it is an older Pentium IV with a motherboard that only supports
USB v1.1). The chipset of this card is Via. 

For several of the ext3 partitions, I had to run "fsck_ext2fs" first before
I could mount them.

Thanks for the various suggestions; they pointed me in the right direction.
