Two questions: first, have you rebooted, or otherwise
unmounted/remounted that drive since giving it a label and second,
what does 'e2label /dev/sdd1' return?

Yes I ran the command yesterday and have re-booted several times since,
usually shut this computer down at night.
[bobg@Box10 ~]$ e2label /dev/sdd1
e2label: Permission denied while trying to open /dev/sdd1
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
[bobg@Box10 ~]$ su
Password:
[root@Box10 bobg]# e2label /dev/sdd1
[root@Box10
Nothing, perhaps it does not survive a re-boot?
