Ed,
Why not try clearing the iTune files that catalog your tunes (in the music folder for the user and also the files relating to iTunes in the user/library/preferences *itunes.plist for mac)
Then Just drag the folder from the server and drop it in the library of the i
Tunes window (I hate calling them that on a MAC but...) iTunes will the recreate the files that keep all the music info. If you have your preferences set to keep your music on the server, then it hopefully will now recognize them all.
DO NOTE. This will not erase your music, just iTunes files it uses to find the music.... it will take a minute to recatalog, but might solve the problem. You will however loose your playlists in so doing this.
If you are using a MAC server, and have it still under their warranty, and have some patience, they will fix almost anything. If the server is PC.... I am unclear, but I would still suspect clearing the iTunes files and restarting iTunes (after you clear the reference files iTunes will open like it has never been used before and recreate all these files. If you are careful, and remember/write down where you got them all from, you could easily reverse this process as well.
