Problem solved. I used Onyx to show hidden files on my startup drive and looked in the Volumes folder. There were was a folder with the same name as the drive I was having the problem with. Normally, external drives that are connected show up there as aliases, not folders. I read that if a drive is ever disconnected improperly without ejecting that this can happen. I simply deleted the folder and everything is back to normal. That was driving me nuts.
