I got a little hasty with the send button...
I was able to get it to recognize the ipod and use it correctly finally. I
added the mountpoint /media/ipod into the "cdrom" group (of which I'm a
member) and now I'm able to have full read/write access to it. It also
automounts now as well.
I'll probably still upgrade to the 2.6 kernel though just to see if it acts
any different.
