have done all the database refreshing things.
The easiest way is to mount the drives back on the machine they came from
and change the permissions to everyone. If not you need to take ownership of
the files by being an administrator first and then change permissions to
everyone.
As below except you need to be the owner to do this change I think..

One other thing that has worked for me (in windows vista 64bit or other win
OS) is setting the security's.
If the media was transferred over a network and the media was not showing
up. This could be similar to your situation as they are on an external
drive.
If in Win you can go to explorer and turn off simple file sharing. (under
folder options)
Then go to the drive that has the media and right click the highest folder
in the tree and R click properties. Then go to security Tab, add "everyone"
and check the boxes to read and write to all. Then click apply, restart avid
and you should be good...
If you have more than one folder in the drive then apply to each one. Also
make sure you apply to each subfolder if it asks you.
I am not sure if this will fix your issue but it has helped me when I knew
the media was there and it would not show up in Avid.
For some reason the Avid and win do not play together unless all the setting
are right... go figure...

Building on what the others have said...
With Avid started, open Windows explorer (or Mac finder if you're rolling
that way) and delete the MSM databases from the Avid MediaFiles/MXF/1 (and
..2/...3 etc) on each drive then switch back to Avid. It should immedately
start rebuilding the media databases.
Hopefully once that's done your media will be back online.
If not then open up the Media Tool, select "All Projects" (just in case the
clips are associated with a different project name) and the drives you have
been supplied. The Media Tool should list all the clips you're looking for -
that's good. If it doesn't they Avid can't "see" the media, and there are
other things going on (look at file permissions, drive formatting if on a
Mac - NTFS could be an issue, directory structure).
If you have all the media in Media Tool, but your sequence isn't relinking
then there is a technique I use that seems to work very well for me...
Create a new bin called "all clips" or something.
Drag all master clips that Media Tool found into that bin. Close Media Tool.
Duplicate your master sequence into that bin (Alt-drag is easiest way).
Select all clips and master sequence in the bin, right click on the sequence
and choose 'Relink'
In the Relink options, select the "Relink to selected" option and unselect
the options for limiting to this project, and matching case in tape names.
This is the most reliable method of relinking I know of, it forces Media
Composer to look at the clips you have selected.
