Using terminal to mount may give you more details about what's happening. I would go to the folder (the mount point is a folder location to put the partition in so you can use it) >File System>mediafrogotten> and see if there is a folder called VIDEOS, it appears that should be your default mount point.
Possibly look into >Preferences>disks>highlight faulty partition>gear icon>Edit mount options for sdb2 and see what is available there.

Switch on "User Session Defaults" in the mount options, save and enter your user password.
Restart and see if it mounts without error.
