I too have this problem, but have been able to sort of work around it. This might give some clues to the podsleuth devs on why things are happening as they are. My suspicion is that there is some sort of race condition between podsleuth and devkit-disks.

First, to be able to have podsleuth actually detect your iPod, you have to ensure that nautilus is killed. I was successful in doing so, since I run a modified GNOME 2 desktop (with awesome as my window manager). With nautilus killed, there is nothing to contact devkit-disks to mount the iPod as a drive.

While nautilus is not running, plug in your iPod. Wait a minute. Run hal-device to verify that podsleuth has merged the necessary iPod properties. You can now run nautilus once more at this point.

Mount your iPod by browsing to it from nautilus (or using palimpsest to mount). Run Banshee to confirm that it too sees the iPod properly.

I'm thinking of playing around with a private build of podsleuth to try to whittle it down further.

HTH.
