Special device does not exist, FSTAB Issue

I set up this arch64 install last night, and till now I've managed all right except for one niggling issue.  For some odd reason, when I installed everything I forgot to add my "sandbox" partition in Fstab.  I thought I could just generate a UUID then add a line to Fstab later, and I did just that.  However, as its not part of my LVM, I'm wondering if thats why I cannot mount my sandbox partition from Fstab.  Ideas appreciated. 

My fdisk -l output:

[root@acer ~]# fdisk -l

The error I get when I issue a "mount -a" as root or just let the computer boot up with the "sandbox" in fstab -

mount: special device UUID=a802d8f4-f70e-4ed5-ab72-65bb0ebdca9b does not exist

Re: Special device does not exist, FSTAB Issue

Having the same problem with flash memory set as /dev/sdb1. It refuses to mount claiming the device doesn't exist.
