It's a Windows formatted ipod - the first partition I can't mount, the

I made sure gnome-volume-manager, dbus and hal
are installed. But when
I launch gtkpod I get:
'/media/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB' does not exist. Import
aborted.
In fact /media/ipod does not exist. If I create it and mount the thing
manually I get permissions errors.
How is this supposed to work? Is gnome-volume-manager supposed to
create the /media/ipod directory? Should it already exist? What are
the correct permissions?
lee, make sure you turn off journalling on the ipod first. you'll need a
mac os x system, and use the diskutil(1) tool. linux will only mount the
ipod as a read-only FS if journalling is enabled, because the current
linux support for journalling on HFS+ is not believed to be robust
enough.
