I had similar issues with my rooted Eris, however I am yet to upgrade to 
Froyo at the moment.

I found that the first attempted mount magically would display more 
mount points.  Then I would mount the newly showing point.  For example:

	ls /dev/sdc* and there is only sdc
mount /dev/sdc /eris
	...fails, but now ls /dev/sdc* shows sdc and sdc1
mount /dev/sdc1 /eris
	...works

Have you checked the file listing for each of the sd* devices pre and 
post mount attempts?
