USB drives are accessed via the SCSI subsystem and
typically the first partition is /dev/sda1 and 2nd /dev/sda2
etc (assuming that you do not already have scsi drives).

Try mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 for the 1st one
and mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2 for the 2nd.  I am assuming
that you have a directory in /mnt/sda1 and /mnt/sda2. 

Also, since you did not mention the version of Linux you 
are running, I am giving a generic response.

in my /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1               /mnt/usb1         vfat  
pamconsole,noatime,sync,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/sda2               /mnt/usb2         ext3   
pamconsole,noatime,sync,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

Mine has usb1 as a vfat and usb2 as ext3.  Change
it to suit your purposes.

HTH.
