This is telling you that the discovered device/partition is sdb1, so
you should try to mount /dev/sdb1.

$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

should work, but I think your problem may be the volume label, as it
has spaces. There's no big deal to have spaces in directory or file
names in Linux, but it's not desirable to do so, as it plays havoc
with shells.

Try renaming the volume label on the drive, or get its UUID and mount that way.
