Running Ubuntu 10.10 getting this error as soon as I connect my iPod 4G running IOS 5.0.1. When I open Nautilus, I can see the iPod icon, but same error appears when I try and open the ipod.

This is a bug that has already been solved. You can check more out here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libimobiledevice/+bug/795475
They've fixed this bug for every recent version of Ubuntu except Maverick. They say they aren't going to fix it for Maverick since it's now unsupported.
Your best bet is to upgrade Ubuntu.
