Comment 2 for bug 586071

GParted tells me that the filesystem of the iPod is 'FAT32'. However right-clicking on the desktop icon for the ipod, and selecting 'properties' says that the file system is 'msdos'.
Also, under the 'permissions' tab, the dialog says "the permissions of <ipod name> could not be determined"

I've attached the dmesg log from the point the ipod was plugged in to right after I tried to write a file.
