Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong?

Hey, you're giving the answer yourself:

On thing, I'm not too sure of the syntax to reference drives using
Unix. I have tried many variations to get Slimserver to index my
files... should  sda1:\LosslessMusic  likely to work?

Nope, this is where you're wrong :-). Use /mnt/sda1/LosslessMusic instead (as you'd see it in mc's upper left corner). And be sure to match upper-/lowercase.

Odd things with this SlimCD installation include:
I get a funny keyboard layout which does not seem to change after I
have selected the UK layout

Interesting that's even funny for you. I always thought this was UK - is it US?

I've no idea what the big button below the little left and right arrows
on the drive status indicator panel is for.

This is the button to mount/unmount. For mounted drives it's green, unmounted black.

My mouse-pad does not work

On a laptop? Ist it USB (or don't you know)?

You could try to shut down the window manager and go back to the shell (text mode): right mouseclick on the desktop, "Windowmanager->Exit". Then run xsetup.sh from the shell. And when you're asked for USB mouse or IMPS/2 (whatever this is...), try to play with the different options. Then type "exit" to get back to the graphical environment.
