I've done both...let Hal do it and manually mounted it myself. Of course, as a mere mortal login, I can't mount it, "only root can do that". In either case, the damned thing mounts as root, not as me and has 755 permissions. Grrrr! > 2) Started Amarok.

Bupkus. If I click the "Connect" button, I get the "Media Device: No mounted iPod found" popup. > So it seems to work here.

Could that have anything to do with it? > What happens if you manually mount the ipod without any spaces in it? I get the "Media Device: failed to create lockfile on iPod mounted at /media/ipod: Read-only file system" popup. I've tried both of these /etc/fstab entries: /dev/sdc3 /media/ipod hfsplus defaults 0 0 /dev/sdc3 /media/ipod hfsplus uid=rick,gid=rick,umask=000 0 0 hfsplus doesn't grok either the "user" or "users" options, so root has to mount it. That being said, performing "mount /dev/sdc3" as root, the only things that change are the user and mode. The first line gives root:root and 755 modes, the second rick:rick and 777 modes. I'm really starting to think this is an hfsplus issue.
