htanks.. Haven;t done this next step yet but will try it.
NEW WRINKLE: would this have anything to do with iTunes COMPLETELY
losing track of all my music files?
Part of this transfer to a new second-internal=drive included my long-
time-working iTunes music collection going to the new drive.
It -had- been working off the external. Having moved the whole mess
onto the new 2T internal, I repointed iTunes to the new location.
Yesterday it was working (or so I thought... I still had the old
external online) but today, after ejecting all teh externals, every
song that it's asked to play pops up a LOST IT dialogue and the
exclamation pops up.

Ok, I think I know what's going on here, this is your old user
account? I suspect the issue is that your userid (not username, but
the numeric userID that OS X actually uses to know who you are) is
different on the old sytem, and so the Finder thinks you shouldn't
be able to get in there, even though you can. You see the same
thing if you create another user on your mac, and then go into the
Users folder and get into the other user's directory, you see the
same - signs
This cab be fixed, probably, by takeing ownership via a command in
Terminal: (and this time it's the exact command, you can copy and
paste this line)
sudo chown -R johnveng:johnveng /Volumes/G5\ HD2\ SG2T
This CHanges OWNership, recursively, of all the files in that
directory to your username and default group (as of 10.3 or 10.4
your default group is a group with the same name as your user
directory)
This should get rid of the - signs
