I had no issues on my end with the album you provided.
Typically this type of issue is caused by insufficient permissions. MPD needs to have read ® permission to the music files and execute (x) permission on all parent directories of the music files. The MPD log can be viewed via moodeutl --mpdlog and will contain permission errors for directories or files it cannot access during database update.
Couple of questions:
1. What format is the drive (NTFS, Fat32, Exfat etc)?
2 How did you copy the files to the drive?
3. What are the permission listed for the "Waltz For Debby [LP SMJ-6118]" album directory and music files?
Here's an example using the test album you provided. I copied it to a USB drive.
