NOW you tell me! OK serves me right for not asking earlier. I thought the Users/<Username>/ bit smacked of Windows but I'd have expected to see a C:/ after localhost/.
I don't have access to a Mac so I'm not entirely certain how it handles the drives in these circumstances. That was the point of asking for both iTunes' idea of where the files is and the full path from the perspective of the Mac.
Looks like this will need fixing back on the PC after all...
Put everything back on the PC exactly where it came from, with the same folder names as it had before and we can take if from there. If the library file that you've moved backwards and forewards won't work with the build of iTunes on that machine, rename it as iTunes Library (Broken).itl, copy the most recent file from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder into the main iTunes folder and rename it as iTunes Library,itl.
Let me know when it is working and I'll try again. I'll need the drive letter for the external drive...
