on sdb1 did you right click an select mount?  You need to do this before you can use that device.

With the pen drive installed. I clicked through the mount tool and the second pen drive did not appear.
Going to Emelfm and naviigating to /mnt shows /sda1 the boot pen and sdb1 the second pen. I can click on it and Emelfm shows /mnt/sdb1 as an empty folder. I can mkdir and then try to copy a file to that directory and get a "no space left on device" message.

Sounds like you're double clicking (which opens) rather than single clicking (to select) on sdb1.

Left mouse button once to select the drive eg sdb1, right mouse button to open the contextual menu from which you can click "mount" to mount the drive which will then open it (eg /mnt/sdb1) and display its contents.

That is correct. sometimes I've found I have to do it a couple od times. Select with a right click and choose mount. Also, if you use toram as a bootcodewith a pen drive the pen drive is unmounted automatically after boot as long as you do not load any .uci extentions. That means you can pull it out andplug in another pen drive because the OS is running entirely in memory.
