Yes, they all need separate mount points - only one drive can mount on
the /media/daryl mount point.  The normal place to put fixed mount
points in Ubuntu is in /mnt.  The /media directory is used for
automounts.  If you plug in a USB disk or flash drive, or put a CD or
DVD in an optical drive, in Ubuntu it will normally automount itself
in a new directory made from the drive label under /media/daryl, and
also automatically appear in the disk software such as Nautilus as a
disk icon.  So doing fixed mount points on /media/daryl will stop that
automounting from working.  I would recommend doing this:

sudo mkdir /mnt/storage1
sudo mkdir /mnt/storage2
sudo mkdir /mnt/storage3
chmod a=rwx /mnt/storage1
chmod a=rwx /mnt/storage2
chmod a=rwx /mnt/storage3

and then changing those three lines in /etc/fstab to:

LABEL=storage1 /mnt/storage1    ext4 defaults    0       2
LABEL=storage2 /mnt/storage2    ext4 defaults    0       2
LABEL=storage3 /mnt/storage3    ext4 defaults    0       2

Note that I have also changed the 1 at the end of those lines to 2.
Only the disk mounted on / should have pass 1 setting in fstab.  All
other disks should be pass 2 (or 0 for special mount points like
/proc).  The pass number tells the boot process that all drives with
pass 1 are to be checked and made available in the early boot process.
But only the / drive needs to be made available that early - the other
drives should be left for the normal mounting process later.
