The problem has finally been resolved. Here is a copy of the text I sent
to tech support:
------------------------
OK, the problem seems to be fixed now. I ended up pointing the
Squeezeserver music folder setting to subdirectories one at a time to
see if it would scan that directory correctly. (With well in excess of
2,000 directories this took a while. It had to scan the directory, and
then I had to manually set it to the next directory and start over.)
After several hours I finally located a Boz Scaggs subdirectory that
had a circular soft-link reference back to itself in with the music
files. When I removed that the scanning problem disappeared. 

The mystery to me is why Slimserver 6.5.4 and earlier versions did not
have a problem with scanning the same music folder. Rhythmbox also did
not exhibit any problems as the local music player on that Linux PC. I
would also note the logs were of no help in identifying the problem.

In short, it was the lack of any problem with other/earlier versions
software that made the problem in Squeezecenter so difficult to track
down. If I could make one suggestion it would be to improve the error
reporting capability of the software so that issues such as this could
be located with less hassle. 

Thanks for your help on this matter.
