Really? I didn't imagine amarok would so fragile about spaces. I'm
pretty sure I've seen it handle them in filenames before (though I'm
not a regular user of it at all).

Indeed. I know that amarok use libgpod for its ipod services. I'd be
very interested in finding out if there is a bug someplace in libgpod
that's causing your trouble, because I'd like to get it fixed. If you
have time for fiddling and want to try and debug this, let me know.
Is this on FC6 or F7? I'm planning to finally get an updated libgpod
pushed to F7, hopefully early next week. FC6 will probably stay where
it is. I mention this on the off chance that there's a bug which has
already been fixed by newer versions of libgpod.
