First, make sure you have the latest libraries and use "official" versions of these libraries (i.e. directly from the Fedora repositories, if possible). Then, try to re-initialize your iPod's FS, as you described above. You can always revert your ipod by tarring up its directory structure, or even make a copy of the partition (the iPodLinux website has some ideas on backing up an iPod, although it's more targetet towards backing up the Apple OS partition, but the methods work for the "data" partition as well). After you have "wiped" your iPod, initialize it with gtkpod (you'll find the necessary command in the menu) and then try to use it with gPodder without ever touching iTunes. Tell me if this works for you or if the problem still persists.
