To mount something you need an entry in fstab that allows you to do 
that.  The user option is commonly used for that.

You also need the user in question to be able to read and write the 
block device you're mounting.

Jim mentioned superblock permissions--that controls the directory 
permissions after mounting.  I don't think it applies in this case since 
the iPod uses FAT (or some other non-Unix FS).

If you poke around at how to let users read/write floppys or USB thumb 
drives (FAT, not ext) you can probably get it to work the same way.

HTH,
Dave
