update:
I've ruled out the hub (plugged the LaCie 250 directly into the AE/n  
(N-only setup) and still can't search the drive.
I stuck a miniStack on the AE/n -- mounts fine - can't search via Finder

Rik and I have privately exchanged screenshots where I show how  
searches come up empty .. whereas with his LaCie 160, searches via  
Finder work fine.   We each have password for the disk set to "disk  
password".

:-(

Is Rik the only other AE/n user on this list with a shared drive?
