Are the iTunes library files (individual album folders and mp3 files in
finder window) still there? can you play a single track by double clicking
it in a finder window?

Have you tried simply trashing the prefs file for iTunes and restarting?

Not sure but if that doesn't work then I would suspect Filevault and the new
automatic defragmentation feature in 10.3...

HTH,
