Don't try mounting from amaroK, do it on the desktop (right click the detected 
iPod) or use the 'sudo mount /dev/sb2' command.  Then from amaroK's Media 
Device tab, click Connect.  That should give you the contents of the iPod.  
Delete the files you want to repalce and transfer the files you want to add.

My only complaint is that amaroK doesn't monitor storage space on the iPod 
(like iTunes does), and you get errors when you try to over fill it.

Also be aware that amaroK plays audio formats that are not supported on the 
iPod, and won't convert them to iPod friendly formats.  It will load them on 
the iPod, and they will take up space but not be playable (notably ogg and 
flac).
