I looked up the support thread and it is a case of your hardware not having support for background operations. Perhaps they emailed you this information after you posted to the mailing list. >From Wikipedia: "The 2nd and 3rd generation iPod Touch can be updated to iOS 4.x for free, but cannot take advantage of features using the iPhone's camera or GPS receiver. The 2nd generation iPod Touch is further unable to take advantage of iOS 4's multitasking and home screen background customization features, unless the firmware is modified (through jailbreaking), and cannot be upgraded beyond iOS version 4.2.1. Later updates of iOS beyond 4.2.1 are no longer supported due to the outdated hardware. The iPod Touch (2nd generation) is model A1288."
