As a follow-up to my own post (sorry!), I have rebooted the machine to
install a new up2date kernel, and the disk check for my /music drive showed
"95.8% non-contiguous files". I have never seen anything higher than 2%
before! However, it reports as clean and the problem I see has not gone
away after having fsck'ed the disk.

Help...?
