If the files really have been totally deleted then DON'T plug the iPod in. Plug it into another Mac and use iTunes on there to turn off AutoSync. The setting is iPod specific, NOT tied to iTunes, if an Auto Sync iPod is plugged into another Mac with iTunes then iTunes warns you that this iPod is tied to another Mac by Autosync and you can choose not to sync it. Then go to The iPod prefs in iTunes and de-activate Automatic Sync on the iPod. The iPod will just mount and not Sync when plugged back into the offending iBook *I THINK*. Test before you try, use advice at own risk etc...
That worked thanks Mark. I have been told (for general information) that if you open iTunes and hold down Command + Option as you plug in the iPod it will ask you before starting and auto sync. However, we preferred to take no chances.
My daughter is now happily restoring her music, courtesy of Senuti (freeware), though PodWorks also looked a very good contender at $8 and this become the long term utility she uses.
