I have the same problem, with an iPad, but effectively the same. iPods work on the local Ubuntu machine, and I believe that usbmuxd is the problem in this case. It's supposed to pick up the ipod announce in dmesg and take over. I can't test atm, but it looks like a good place to start. Take a look here: http://marcansoft.com/blog/2009/10/iphone-syncing-on-linux-part-2/ which is a little old, but has piles of info. I'm thinking of updating the HFS+ page on gentoo-wiki - if we figure this out, maybe we can write up a good guide for Apple i* devices.
