Two volumes really can't have the same name in the file system.  Even though they are named the same using Apple's capability to name a disk, when they are mounted in the /Volumes/ directory they really have to be different.

It is pretty easy to open Terminal.app and. . .

cd /Volumes
ls -al

to see what is really being done when the identically named volumes are mounted. I'll bet you can get the correct name to use that way.
