what about sda3? This is what works for me (that's without relying on /etc/fstab):

  mount -t hfsplus /dev/sda3 /mnt/ipod

  what does fsdisk (or other partitioning tools) say about /dev/sda?

so I looked at it on my computer, the fdisk, cfdisk, sfdisk are useless, they claim there is not partition information.

parted (apt-get install parted, I have unstable parted 1.6.9-3.1) works, it displays partition table which looks reasonable:

(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/sdb: 0.000-28610.859 megabytes
Disk label type: mac
Minor    Start       End     Filesystem  Name                  Flags
1          0.000      0.030              partition map
2          0.031     32.030              firmware
3         32.031  28610.858  hfs+        disk

from that you can see that mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdb3 /mnt/ipod (sda3 in your case) should work, it works on my system.
