I am using kubuntu, and it automounts under /media.

Just did.

Have you configured amarok to look for the iPod?

Look in media devices and hit the autodetect button, that works for me. You 
have to do it once and then you should be able just tell it to connect from 
the media devices tab (in the main window). 

Worst case, you have to configure it manually (tell it what type of device and 
where it is mounted).
