can't you force it to remount rw? That can often be one with regular HDs. Why don't you run fsck on it? is there no fsck.hfsplus? apt-file didn't find it...
there is a way to set the number of mounts after which it requires fsck, can't you set it to higher number?
for regular HDs I see different message if they exceed the mount count (it says something to that effect), maybe your iPod really was unmounted improperly.

homeruns:~# hpmount /dev/sda /mnt/ipod hpmount: /dev/sda: Neither Wrapper nor native HFS+ volume header found (Unknown error 4294967295) which is just wack, afaict, seeing as it was mounting happily with `mount -t hfsplus` up until 32 mounts (and still does, just r-o).
why are you mounting sda? generally you don't mount the disk but a partition (that has a filesystem), on my iPod (bought august 2003) the sda3 is the one to mount. I use firewire but that shouldn't make any difference.
