lrwxr-xr-x    1 emmajane root           26 Jun 20 00:27 ipod -> /var/autofs/removable/ipod

smeagol:/home/emmajane# mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod
mount: mount point /mnt/ipod is a symbolic link to nowhere

And if I try creating a fresh directory I get:
smeagol:/mnt 17:19:49 $ sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod2
mount: special device /dev/sda2 does not exist

The last time I booted the iPod was actually spinning up and spinning down
when I popped it into the cradle. This time it isn't -- although I'm
pretty sure I didn't change anything. When I unplug the iPod my computer
knows that it's been unplugged.

After unplugging:

I'll try rebooting again to see if it makes a difference.

thanks again,
