Old kernel. Time to upgrade.

But when I tried to mount the drive using 'mount -t udb /dev/sda1
/mnt/usbdrive, it failed.
I've never heard of a filesystem type called udb. Don't you mean -t udf ?
Sorry, it was a typo. It should be UDF.

Did you type "mount -t udf /dev/sda1 /mnt/somewhere"? That won't work
for any CD-RW, because A) CD-RWs are not seen as disks, but CD-R*
devices B) CD-RWs aren't partitioned. You probably want:

mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/somewhere

....just like a normal CD-R*. Insert "-t udf" if necessary, but a modern
/bin/mount should try udf before iso9660. Depending on your distro,
/dev/scd0 may be called /dev/sr0 . If you want to write to UDF discs
transparently, you'll need to get a newer kernel and enable UDF Write
Support. HTH,
