Sure.  I'd like to know what's going on.

Well, both.  My desktop machine at the office is F6, 32-bit (fully
updated).  On one of my F7 machines which I just tried (x86_64, Intel
Core Duo), the "Configure Amarok" shows the device and shows sdb3 as an
Apple iPod media device.  It shows up in /media as
"Rick Stevens's iPod" (with spaces).  However, clicking on the "Connect"
icon causes a "Media Device: No mounted iPod found".  Now, since the
automounter mounted it in media, I don't have a "mount" command
configured in Amarok.  Could that be the issue?

Ok.

On my F7, it's libgpod-0.4.2-1.fc7, both i686 and x86_64 versions
(machine is an Intel Core Duo).
