If the iPod in question is the latest generation of iPod nano, 
then I am not surprised that you can't transfer data to the iPod.  
Unfortunately intrepid doesn't have support for those iPods, 
however I think jaunty will, which will be released in April.

Please also note that when you transfer music to the iPod from 
Linux, you will not get any spoken feedback for any tracks you 
transfer, as Linux's iPod support doesn't yet support speech 
generation for the latest generation nanos.  Getting this done is 
on my TODO list, but it requires deciding which speech backend to 
use, and a few changes to speech-dispatcher itself probably.
