Others may have different suggestions, but for starters, try running
fdisk -l at in a terminal at the command prompt and see if the iRiver
shows up (I use an iRiver iHP-120). If it does, note the dev
identification, i.e. /def/sda1 . Then from the terminal as sudo, type
mount /dev/sda1 and see if it mounts. The hint: No error messages and a
fresh, blank command prompt. ;-)

Perhaps it's because my iRiver shows up as fat32, 6.06 has no problem
uploading or downloading files...oh, yes, at least on my machine, I can
only write to my iRiver as sudo. I've not troubleshot that one yet...it
really doesn't matter to me at this point...
