Comment(by AlexL):

 I've figured out what the problem was. Somehow, during the unmount of the
 USB key, the directory for the USB key didn't get erased from /media. This
 meant that when it tried to mount the key the next time, there was already
 a directory with the name for the usb key, and an error was hit. The
 second part of this is easy to recreate. If you create a directory in your
 /media folder with the same name as your usb key, and then try to mount
 it, it will fail to mount. After removing that directory, the key will
 mount properly.

 I did have a repeat of the first part (the usb's directory in /media
 wasn't erased), and am attaching the logs. The key that wouldn't mount was
 called 2C4E-9896. I got the logs off using a key called 473C-C1B6. (I
 figured that would be good to know for looking through the logs) Also,
 both keys were Belkin.
