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. Note: I am not a developer,
but I'm eager to learn!
