If you select "Go to Folder" in Finder and type /volumes/lacie/lacie music as the folder name, do you see your music files? If so, clicking Restart from the minim icon should produce a yellow icon.

If you are getting this message from Finder (not MinimServer), this means your external drive isn't connected for some reason. Try powering the Lacie and the Mac off and on to see if this fixes the problem.
