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.

Have you verified the directory structures on the disk? DiskWarrior might be
called for.

Hey Matt, no I haven't. I think my version of DW is a little old and dusty, but I can try running that over the weekend, as well as just repairing permissions on the disk with Disk Utility. Thanks for the suggestion!
