Thanks for the diff but it made me go cros-eyed. :)

You've attached both your grub.cfg's so I removed the unnecessary
lines (for our purpose).

Take a look at them below. Your squeeze grub.cfg sets root as sdg2
then sde2 through 00_linux, as sdg2 through 05_debian_theme, and sde2
through 10_linux.

I don't have 05_debian_theme on my boxes (deleted!) but looking
quickly at 10_linux, the first "set root..." comes from a grub-probe
of the directory corresponding to $GRUB_THEME.
