And this is the output from running bashee with --debug and the ipod
already attached:

Searches about the "DAP has not been added" message seem to relate to
cameras and media transfer protocol which, afaict, will not affect the
ipod.

Any ideas of things to try would be appreciated.  Since posting
earlier, I've built banshee from source with ipod support - had to get
ipod-sharp from a tar since the svn server could not be resolved - but
this did not help.  Although this is unsurprising since v0.12 was
released not too long ago!

Dave.
