If you try to mount it a second time, does it then work?  I find that
it takes two attempts to mount successfully.  The first wakes the iPod
and start the disc spinning, but it's not fast enough and the driver
times out.  The second attempt succeeds because the disc is already
spinning.

    [johnc at dropbear ~]$ grep ipod /etc/fstab 
    /dev/sda2         /mnt/ipod           auto    noauto,user,nosuid  0 0
