Wrong, mol can happily mount HFS+ partitions, it is not limited by Linux
support. RTM.

Are you sure you are refering to the correct partition in molrc, for the
second one?

Mol won't mount disks that are already mounted in linux when you start
mol (or at least it only mounts them as read only). Either unmount the
volume in linux before you start mol, then remount it (bear in mind that
having it read-writable by both OS's is dangerous). And you can move
files about.

Or set up ethertap (a virtual ethernet connection between the two OS's)
and use ftp to move files back and forth.
