It could be a permissions issue. LMS runs under the username
"squeezeboxserver", and that user has to have permission to read the
music library, and read/write permission for the playlist folder and
files.

How you enable the permissions depends in part on whether it is an
internal hard drive or "removable" media such as an external USB drive.
For external drives you have to pay attention to how (and when) Ubuntu
logically mounts the USB drive. 

If it's an internal drive, the following commands from a command line
terminal will do what you need. First you need to navigate to the
top-level of your music folder. Then type

find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

The first command sets the folders to be readable/writable/executable by
the owner (presumably your username), and readable/executable by anyone.

The second command sets the files to be read/write by the owner, and
readable by anyone.
