With an ipod nano 8giga 3G green and i'm able to make it work with Rhythmbox and Amarok upgrading the
reset (initialize) your ipod from Windows to be sure it is in a fresh good state

Then as explained into this page:
http://lilserenity.wordpress.com/2007/12/22/virgin-mobile-praise-ubuntu-and-ipod-nano-3g/

Using Ubuntu, we must download from this ftp site
ftp://64.22.103.45/packages/ubuntu/gutsy/libgpod/

the new libgpod library, open a terminal and type:

wget ftp://64.22.103.45/packages/ubuntu/gutsy/libgpod/libgpod2_0.5.3+actually0.6.0-0.1_i386.deb
wget ftp://64.22.103.45/packages/ubuntu/gutsy/libgpod/libgpod-dev_0.5.3+actually0.6.0-0.1_i386.deb

then install it type:

sudo dpkg -i libgpod2_0.5.3+actually0.6.0-0.1_i386.deb libgpod-dev_0.5.3+actually0.6.0-0.1_i386.deb

then reinstall and purge Amarok
apt-get --reinstall --purge amarok

Plug your ipod into usb port and find your device name /dev/... open a terminal and type:

df

Then put into /dev/fstab something like this
/dev/sdd2 /media/IPOD vfat users,rw,noauto 0 0
