Given that the underlying OS on the Buffalo is a Linux variant, I wonder if the Buffalo isn't adding the USB drive into it's fstab file. Thinking about that further, from an OS point of view, USB is a transient connection (P'n'P) and therefore you may not want to add the USB device into the permanent fstab file.
Just to clarify, when do you lose the USB share? After the Buffalo is powered off/on, or after the PC is powered off/on? Have you tried unplugging the seagate USB cable and then plugging it back in - does that reactivate the share?
