This gets weirder. This morning I rebooted the system, and everything
started working fine. When I plugged in the iRiver it was
automatically mounted and an icon appeared on the desktop.

When I got home this evening and tried again, it had stopped working.
It was behaving the same way as I described yesterday. The computer
has been on all day with no-one using it.

Not sure what is going on.
