Thanks for finding the right home for this issue. I spent some more time with this iPod and tried the following:
1) I attempted to see if there were any issues with the iPod itself and verified that it was FAT32 and then ran dosfsck -a to see if there was anything broken -- it was all clean, no problems. 2) I checked the setting of the automatic mounting from within Ubuntu 8.10. It was mounted as RW and the settings (as far as I understood them) appeared to be consistent. [Note: if you look at the preferences that shows a pie graph of available space, it shows as 100% full even though it is only about 30% full. Also, note that Sunbird's graphical representation of storage availability is accurate -- 30%. I assumed that this was a fault of FAT32 not being able to provide as much information as EXT3.] 3) I opened the iPod as a folder, and was successful in writing a small text file to it (drag and drop). The file appeared in the iPod folder as expected. So it is not read-only from the view of nautilus. 4) I returned to Rhythmbox and gpodder and Amarok -- and although I could see and play all of the podcasts that were on the iPod, I could not drag any new podcasts to it, nor could I synch any files to it. 5) I checked the privileges, and they were as you would expect it to be (RW). 6) I returned to iTunes (on WinXP) and checked to make sure that the iPod firmware was up-to-date ... it was. (It works fine on iTunes.) 7) I tried some light percussive maintenance and loud and persuasive language; however, the iPod Nano is solidstate and was unmoved. As my 8GB iPod Nano works flawlessly and synchs with all ubuntu- installed software just fine, I still think that there must be a bug in relation to that particular model of iPod (as noted in the description). Let me know if I missed anything, or whether I could provide any additional details to help crack this issue.
