Thanks for the suggestions.  I'm not able to mount it as myself.  

$ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ipod
mount: only root can do that

Or are you saying that gtkpod should mount it?  I tried that and since iPod is 
not mounted:

'/mnt/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB' does not exist. Import aborted.

I'm not familiar with how to mount something not as root (I've always used 
root mostly out of apathy...)

Do I do this before I try to import the iTunesDB?
