The part of this that looks weird is that you said you partitioned
the drive, with gparted, but you are apparently attempting to mount
the device, /dev/sda, and not a particular partition, like /dev/sda1
or similar. Is this really what the Ubuntu system does? After the
disk is attached to the Debian system, what's in /proc/partitions?

This part makes sense to me -- fdisk can't read gparted-style
partition tables.
