[Banshee-List] Banshee 1.6.1, podsleuth 0.6.7, can't access IPod 3G. using OpenSuse 11.2

[Thomas Becker <th -becker web de>]

Hi, 
like I reported some times ago, my IPOD (nano 3.G. 8GB) is not access able via Banshee,  other programs like Rhythmbox or nautilus can access. I think this should be fix with the latest version of Banshee (1.6.1) and podsleuth (0.6.7), but not for my system (OpenSuse 11.2). I have 2 system both shows different behavior. 
Maybe someone knows what's going on here. What can I do to find out the root cause? If you need more information let me know.

Best Regards,
Thomas Becker

1.) Laptop: OpenSuse 11.2 64bit, Banshee 1.6.1, podsleuth 0.6.7:
===============================================
a) plug in the IPOD, is mounted as hard disk, no access via Banshee:
> podsleuth
Found an iPod device, but it is not known by PodSleuth:
 Error: org.podsleuth.* properties are missing
 UDI:          /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_3141_5926
 Block Device: /dev/sdb1

 Cause: PodSleuth may not be installed properly, the HAL daemon may need
 to be restarted and/or the device needs to be refreshed.
