Thanks to all who advised on this. The persistent files are stored in
casper-rw thanks to Jason for pointing this out to me and the solution
to the problem is this.

sudo mount -o loop /media/CORSAIR/casper-rw  /mnt

Works just fine I now have full access to the files and it doesn't
matter that the key won't boot.
