Bug Description

I have just upgraded to Ubuntu 7.10 from 7.04. My iPod Shuffle 2G was recognized without any problems by 7.04. Now 7.10 does not work with the same iPod. Upon connecting my iPod to my computer via USB, I pop up windows says, "Cannot mount volume". The details has

"mount::wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /deb/sdb, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so".

The last bit of dmesg related to iPod is the following:

[ 832.960000] usb 4-2.5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 17

Any suggestions?
