Sure, I do this with a Cube that has an external disk connected via 
firewire.  I can't see why it would not work with both machines being 
powerbooks.

When I do the Go->Connect to server thing and then select the cube, 
it gives me a list of volumes to mount.  One is my Home directory on 
the cube, one is the cube's internal disk, and one is the external 
disk.

Are you logging into the remote machine with an account that has 
admin privileges?  I bet you need that to get to anything other than 
your home directory.  Can't think of any other reasons that this 
would not work.
