Hi James,
   Sitting here this evening I remembered you had posted this so I
thought I'd give it a try. While there's a lot of life I still don't
have a connection. Here's what I see following along with your
commands:

1) idevice_id just prints a help list. However

idevice_id -l

does give me a serial number.

2) ideviceinfo prints lots of information from the ipod.

3) idevicepair pair & idevicepair validate report success. Great so far.

5) ifuse /mnt/ipod does mount the ipod. I can cd to /mnt/ipod and see
directories, etc.

k2 ipod # ls -la
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 0 root root  204 Dec 31  1969 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Nov  4 17:50 ..
drwxr-xr-x 0 root root  102 Dec 31  1969 DCIM
drwxr-xr-x 0 root root  102 Dec 31  1969 Downloads
-rw-r--r-- 0 root root    0 Dec 31  1969 com.apple.itunes.lock_sync
drwxr-xr-x 0 root root  204 Dec 31  1969 iTunes_Control
k2 ipod #

At this point I start gtkpod but cannot find the ipod. I'm wondering
what root might need to do to make /mnt/ipod visible to my user
account? Should I be adding my id to some groups possibly? Something
else?

Thanks for the write-up.
