No, udev works fine.  The thing appears as "/media/Rick Stevens's iPod"
(spaces included), which is difficult to make work in Amarok.  To get
around that, I unmounted it and manually mounted it as root using:

	# mkdir /media/ipod
	# chmod 777 /media/ipod
	# mount -t hfsplus -ouid=500,gid=500,umask=0 \
		/dev/sdc3 /media/ipod

It mounted up at /media/ipod, an "ls -l /media/ipod" reveals everything
has decent permissions (777 or 666, depending) and I'm shown as the user
and group for almost everything (some stuff is "nobody").  However,
amarok still bitches that it's a read-only file system and thus won't
show a playlist or anything.  More or less useless.
