Another Buffalo Linkstation 500GB

HD501LJ, DDI'd few bads (couple hundred)

Usually UFS Explorer sees the Partition with out a scan. R-stud is the same.

would just a few errors throw it out?

making another image just now

any ideas?

Hook up the image to a linux system that supports xfs and run xfs_repair.
