I moved my iTunes library to an external hard disk, and I too had problems with it reverting if the external disk wasn't available. I fixed it by replacing the ~/Music/iTunes folder with an alias to the correct location of my music library. Now if the external drive is unavailable, iTunes will just crash, which I find preferrable to reverting the location.

Okay, it doesn't actually crash. It just generates an error and quits.
