Just as an update, reindexing the drive doesn't seem to help. Is
there any way I can find the Spotlight index for that volume and
review it with a text editor?
Look in the folder called .Spotlight-V100 in the root directory of
the volume.
Another thing to try would be to sit at the server, log in, and see
if you can use Spotlight to find that same file.
Thanks Simon, wish I'd thought of that sooner myself. As is stands
right now, neither Finder searches nor Spotlight bar searches turn
up the test file. Will try again to reindex the disk and report my
results.
Interestingly, after reindexing the volume Spotlight still returns no
results searching from the server.
Here's a wild thought: is it possible that the fact that this volume
is a Firewire RAID have anything to do with this? Searching on the
internal SATA disks seems to work okay. I'll probably feel like a
bonehead for not mentioning that sooner...
