Try having the finder rebuild the desktop for you.  To do this, eject the disk
then re-insert it while holding down the command and option keys  [NOTE: there
may be a better way to do this, but I don't know what it is].  The finder will
pop up an alert asking if you really want to rebuild the desktop on the disk
"so-and-so."  Just click Yes, and let it hum for a bit.  To do this for a hard
disk you either have to hold command-option when you boot or use ResEdit or
some such to throw away the Desktop file.
