Ok - so creating a new user on my ubuntu 10.04 allows me to 'successfully' transfer an MP3 to the iPhone, but no matter what I do this song does not appear on the iphone ipod app. My experience now seems to correspond to what some others are reporting which is that the itunesDb format has changed and rhythymbox is not writing the correct format to the iphone.
In the mean time it would be fantastic to know what I need to change about my user account to enable the iphone to actually work without a bus error. As once music syncing is fixed in the libmobiledevice or libgpod libraries I am still stuck unless I create a new account.
