Bug#534121: rhythmbox: ipod touch not recongnized anymore

[Ulrik Sverdrup]

The ipod is mounted like this:

sshfs -o workaround=all -o idmap=user mobile at ulrik-ipod.local:Media /m
edia/ipod

so I mount ~/Media of the "mobile" user (unprivileged user of the
ipod, where the music library is)

That directory looks like this:

(opening it now in nautilus, it has the blue bar above (This media
contains photos.. [Launch gthumb])
$ ll /media/ipod

I don't think this is part of the problem anymore. The ipod is mounted
wirelessly, over ssh, and it doesn't matter if the USB cord is
attached or not.

Anyway, now I tried to run rhythmbox with debug output, and it says
this when I mount the filesystem:

(00:56:37) [0x105ae1b0] [rhythmdb_mount_added_cb]
rhythmdb-monitor.c:463: volume file:///media/ipod mounted
(00:56:37) [0x105ae1b0] [rb_removable_media_manager_add_mount]
rb-removable-media-manager.c:608: Unhandled media, no volume for mount

Rhythmbox says *no volume for mount,* which is the view GIO takes,
here is a check using python:
