Ok, this no longer a Steam issue. The reason Steam doesn't always see it is for some reason the drive seems to lose permissions. I have to back and set it to allow read and writes to my account. Worse it it doesn't always seem to save even that.
What I would suggest you did, is opening up whatever program you use to browse files as root (sudo) and then assign permissions again. If that still doesn't work, go into command line and use chmod -r <permissionsettings> <dirname>.
first get root access on terminal
gedit /etc/fstab
/dev/sdc1 /media/GAMES ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 1
/dev/sdd1 /media/ROMS ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 1
cause if you swap your cables around then it might get wrong places
so
UUID=5bcd0e0b-b123-4abc-b123-bc6ff14d98f2 /media/GAMES ext4 defaults,noatime,nodiratime 0 1
etc
to find out your disk uuid use gparted or /dev/disk/by-uuid
lsblk --output NAME,MOUNTPOINT,UUIDIncidentally, only your root partition should have a pass_no of 1, everything else should have a 0 or 2. I don't think it really matters nowadays, but there you go.
