Are you using the 2.2.1 release for os-x from the banshee download page or  
an older version? I've recently published an experimental 2.4.1 release  
for OS X, would be nice if you try that, too:  
https://live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode2012/Projects/TimoDoerr_Banshee_MacOSX#Get_latest_pre-build_alpha_.app-Bundle_for_Mac

As with the 2.2.1 and 2.4.1 releases, I can't reproduce that. I use a  
macbook with 2 internal hard drives and can import media from the 2nd hdd  
via the /Volumes/ folder - same as I use to import music from network  
shares via AFP/SMB.

To clearify, any external hard drive will NOT pop-up as a "removeable  
media" device in the left pane as you may know it from linux banshee. If  
you want to import media from usb drives or network shares on OS X, select  
from the Menu: Media -> Import Media -> Local folder. In the File-Open  
Dialog, select "File system" in the left pane, and then "Volumes" in the  
right (filesystem) pane. Inside the "Volumes" folder you should see all  
external drives, your CD drive, and network shares. You can then select  
any of them for adding (or choose subfolders from them).

If anything does not work please feel free to post to this list.
