Ok, so some unknown thing went wrong by this point.

At that point, type "dmesg" to see what error is in the kernel log.

I didn't parse that very well, I'm afraid, but - either your files are
where they should be, or they are under lost+found, or they are more or
less lost, though some sort of pattern search over the drive might work.

You've already run repair, there is no magical "recover my lost data"
option to it, I'm afraid.
There's really not much to go on here, other than "something corrupted
your filesystem," probably while attached to the buffalo device, and it
sounds like some data was lost.
