It looks slightly suspicious that you're using a raw disk for the e2label,
instead of having partitions. This might be throwing off some of the
programs.

So, even if you only want to have a single filesystem on the disk, create
a partition (spanning the whole disk) for the fs, and label that partition
(/dev/sdb1).

Just guessing, but as it's rather unconventional to use the whole-disk
devices for filesystems, this might be the reason for your problems.
