First I want to make sure I understand your issue correctly. You
create some mp3s in a specific way (using lame + id3v2), you import
them in Rhythmbox, then transfer them to the iPod, and the iPod can't
play these files.
The tags seem to be important, does that mean they show up wrong in
Rhythmbox? or the tags are good in rhythmbox but wrong on the iPod?
Why did you try to correct the tags, ie what was wrong with them
exactly? I guess you tried what you described with several mp3s, and
that for all of them, you couldn't play them on the iPod? Have you
tried different lame settings in case the issue is with the mp3
encoding?

It would be better to track this bug in bugzilla.gnome.org imo :)
