You mean Rockbox 2.0? Update, now! :-)

Probably you did something like Menu -> Playlist options -> Create
playlist, in the root folder. This creates a playlist of all your music.
Perhaps you got more music on your disk than you think?
Can you actually play the playlist entries, or is it just a playlist
referring to already deleted files? Rockbox doesn't just generate
information out of nothing, that's something all science calls impossible
(ah well, except for evolutionary biology... ;-))

On your disk probably. Opening the playlist with a text editor might help
you on this one.
