reachability problems Europe->US?

I know for certain it was gblx, noc confirmed, we saw this to multiple destinations all with the outbound towards gblx (not just DFN).   We are on the same GBLX pop the sites they are talking about are connected to (westin) and almost every path I see back to dfn (from seven upstreams in seattle) was via gblx not qwest, the only exceptions were level3's and Savvis' routes which are via AS1299.

I think the asymmetric routing was obfuscating the problem a bit for the guys attached to DFN.

It seemed from the symptoms OP was seeing, that Qwest was the issue.
Has GLBX reported to you that they are having a fault? If not, perhaps
try tagging your exported routes to GLBX with 8010 as per this:
