Could it be, that if I would have had to manually configure those mount point entries in the appropriate configuration files, this would have kind of produced a stable mount-point, that is not influenced by the sleep mode of the USB HDD (just a thought, I am no linux programmer!)?

I haven't tried the NOOB version myself. I agree that it looks like this is causing the problem. Perhaps it takes a little while for the disk to be remounted after resuming from sleep, and MinimServer is trying to access it before this has happened.

I'm away from home at the moment wthout access to a Raspberry Pi, so I can't help with debugging this. Can you ask about this on a Raspberrry Pi forum? It doesn't appear to be a MinimServer problem.
