Stuart, I have no idea what was causing this but I have three powered USB (Belkin) units attached to an iMac. I have several items continually connected, they are all recognized and seem to work properly but when I would have the iPhone, iPod Classic and iPod Shuffle all plugged in at the same time I would keep getting a dialogue box saying that I needed a powered USB hub that there wasn't enough power. The iMac would continually try to mount the various iPods, always getting this box, some mornings when I would get back to the machine there would be 15 to 20 of these for I guess it had tried to mount them through the night (they were all already mounted).
It was a software problem and what I don't know. I had migrated a G5 to the Intel iMac and undoubtedly something was brought forward that had a bad taste. I finally wiped out the hard drive and installed Leopard (the iMac was the last with Tiger) and since then there have been no problems, no USB warnings that I needed a powered hub. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.
