This happened to me as well.  I posted about it a few weeks ago.  It
seems to be a result of the latest iPod update and has been reported on
the web.  The only solution seems to be making one yourself.  I
suggested throwing a more specific exception (something like
EmptySysinfoException) and making a dialog which asked for your iPod
type and S/N to reconstruct it.
