I believe this may be a problem with mount occasionally mounting said
filesystem (containing games, etc.) due to which Ginto can view the
files, and not mounting it on other times, when it is in invisible or
"hidden". An output of 
cat /etc/fstab and
sudo fdisk -l

should provide a clearer picture.
