    Ok, I yum installed amarok and it runs but I don't see how to make it
    access the ipod.

    What am I missing here?

What type of iPod are you tryng to connect? I've succesfull connected iPod from all the previous generation, not tried with the newest (iPod touch - iPod new Nano large screen etc). Normally, when I plug for the first time one iPod Amarok display a dialog asking if I want to manage the device and the the type of this. Then the entire db is displayed and you can copy from and into the iPod from your amarok music library. Try to unplug and then plug in the iPod when amarok is up and running, what happens?

What is in your /var/log/messages ?
And finally what lsusb report about your iPod?

   I think it's called a "mini" but I'm not certain.  Bought them about
   two years ago so they are not the latest!


   /var/log/messages   [This looks like the appropriate part after
   plugging in the ipod.]

   As for the file system it uses, I don't know anything about it but
   it is whatever it was delivered with and the kids deal with it via
   Windows XP.

   I think I am beginning to lose interest in the project.
