[Banshee-List] iPod nano 8Gb volumes detected in HAL but not Banshee

["Stephen Carter" <stephen retnet co uk>]

Hi everyone,

I've got a 2nd gen iPod Nano 8Gb that doesn't want to play ball with my
SLED 10 x86_64 install (with all updates applied).
ipod-sharp v0.6.2-36.4 x86_64
libipoddevice v0.5.2-1.2x86_64
libipoddevice-32-bit v0.5.2-12 x86_64
banshee v0.10.9.2

When I plug the ipod in nothing happens, and in Banshee it's not listed.

Following the troubleshooting guide I can see the Volumes listed in the
hardware manager but when I run the ipod command and connect my ipod
nothing is displayed in the terminal.

I also saw a recent post that looks very similar, and Aaron's
find-ipod.sh detection script which I've run. It looks like I have an
ipod there but it's just hiding under the covers. Anyone willing to help
me flush him out?
