Oh, yeah, there was another "last step": I think I had the wrong iPod 
model selected in gtkpod. I had 'Nano (2nd gen) > 4 GB Nano (Silver)' 
but didn't notice that there was a 'Nano /Video/ (3rd gen) > 4 GB Nano 
(Silver)' model as well. I guess since I'm primarily interested in audio 
I kinda blocked 'Video' out of my mind. Anyway, I selected the 'Nano 
/Video/ (3rd gen) > 4 GB Nano (Silver)', which modified the entry in 
/media/IPOD_/iPod_Control/Device/SysInfo. That might have been what got 
it working. It seems doubtful that a command-line eject /dev/sdd1 would 
make everything work.
