ext3 filesystem

Anybody ever have trouble getting a drive to mount using ext3? I have
one that I cannot get to mount as an ext3 but it will mount as an ext2.

fdisk /dev/hdg - create the partition
mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdg1 - finishes fine but still cant mount it as ext3
tune2fs -j /dev/hdg1 - Reports the filesystem already has a journal

/etc/fstab:
/dev/hdg1 /mnt/hdg ext3
usrquota,grpquota 1 2

[root@otrta root]# mount -a
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdg1,
        or too many mounted file systems
mount: mount point 2 does not exist

All this really does exist, my computer tends to lie to me from time to
time. I have deleted and recreated this partition a few times but still
can't mount it as ext3. The other two drives mount ext3 just fine, this
one though does not.

Any ideas?

Jon
