You won't be able to see anything in /mnt/rh/usr because it is a
seperate partition.  You should be able to see everything in
/mnt/rh/etc for instance though.

To get RedHat's /usr directory (except for local) you need to add:
/dev/hdb5 /mnt/rh/usr noauto,rw,nouser 0 0

To add RedHat's /usr/local add:
/dev/hdb7 /mnt/rh/usr/local noauto,rw,nouser 0 0

The home mount looks good though.  I don't believe RedHat uses autohome
but check to make sure that /home/kent really is on /dev/hdb6 (while
running RedHat 'df /home/kent'.
