When you say 'access', are you trying to open them with an application or copy them (e.g. using Windows Explorer)? If you haven't tried copying them to the local hard drive and burning them to DVD from there, that might be worth a go. I've got a LaCie external USB HDD too (Ebuyer were selling the 600gb ones off stupidly cheaply, because they've only got a USB interface and no IEEE1394), and Adobe Premiere starts playing silly buggers if I try to import a file into a project directly from it. If you move the timeline position more than about 2-3 minutes into the video, it just freezes and the only way to get out is to terminate Premiere with the task manager. I suspect this is because the transfer speed through the USB wire simply isn't fast enough for Premiere to be able to work through it in real time. Copy the files to one of the internal winnies and everything is fine.
If that doesn't solve the problem, have you tried plugging the drive into another computer and seeing if you can copy the files from it that way? If you still have no luck with that, I'm afraid it's starting to look like the data on the HDD is corrupted in some way. In that scenario you could try a disc rescue utility (Iolo System Mechanic, which I use as a general maintenance suite, has one, but thankfully I've never had to use it), which might be able to get some of the files back for you. But failing that too, I'm afraid that it is starting to look like you're slightly buggered.
