Sorry, at the moment I have my plate full with field work in the Amazon, but here's some food for thought:
I bypassed the root folder of the ext. USB HDD by typing the address into Nautilus directly (i.e.: /media/disk/subfolder) and it showed up the contents normally. Then, recalling your comment about .svg, I moved three single (.mp3) files from the root directory of the ext. usb disk and now Nautilus starts just fine in the root folder, showing the contents. The three files have been there all along and are not corrupted and are displayed fine in the subfolder where they now reside. Then, hold on, I moved the three .mp3 files back in one by one and shut down Nautilus in between - and restarted with no problems. Then when they were all three placed back, I unmounted the disk, then remounted and Nautilus now starts just fine, showing the contents of the root folder without problems. In other words, I am now unable to reproduce the bug?!?! How's that for strange? In any case, this and other incidents, such as a 5-15 second hand during boot, makes me feel like I downgraded to 8.04 from 7.10. Thanks for you help, however, muchly appreciated!!
