same here. no error message, .. the podcast just doesn't show up in my list.
I successfully added a few podcast, (chinesepod.com/feed and
spanishpod.com/feed).
but more recently http://feeds.feedburner.com/German-podcast and
http://www.arabicpod.net/feed/lessons just don't show up when I add
them. No error messages or anything like that, ... they just don't show
up.
Also, maybe this is a separate bug. .. but is inline with the same
general issue of lack of error handling:
I tried multiple times under the config menu to change the directory to
which podcasts are downloaded. Every time, if I closed the app and re-
opened, it was set back to my home directory.
I tried adding a couple of other podcasts (which successfully showed up
in the list of podcasts) but which failed to downloaded the actual mp3
files. There were no informative error messages, it just said failed.
I changed the download directory to ~/Podcasts/, and now those podcasts
that were failing to download files are downloading properly.
I don't want these in my home directory (it's in a partition that I
don't want to use for file storage)... and I don't want to have to copy
them all manually.
The partition where I am trying to store the files is a fat32 partition.
I do have write permission on that directory, ... but it's possible that
rhythmbox is trying to do something like change timestamps or
permissions or something in a way that can't be done, and then just
failing ungracefully when it doesn't work.
Whatever the problem is, the interface should at a minimum give some
kind of feedback about why the podcast didn't download, or didn't add,
etc.

Will not subscribe to podcast address when I add it. It just ignores the input
and lists zero podcasts.
