I'm using Fedora 14's rhythmbox-0.13.1-1.fc14.x86_64.

I drag mp3 files into the iPod and all seems OK. Then I quit Rhythmbox and eject the iPod.

The iPod software does see the new files but when trying to play them it will skip them all as if they were 0 seconds long.

All files uploaded with a previous version of Rhythmbox (rhythmbox-0.12.6-5.fc12.i686) continue to work as usual.

I tried to upload these files with gtkpod and it worked OK which prompted me to see what was different. I discovered that gtkpod writes files with names like

./iPod_Control/Music/F01/libgpod288378.mp3

while Rhythmbox is writing files like

./iPod_Control/Music/F03/01 Louisiana

while on the previous version that worked (under Fedora 12) it wrote files like

./iPod_Control/Music/F00/01 - First Song.mp3

It seems the new version writes file names without the .mp3 extension. Maybe that's the cause of the problem?
