That is correct. This is the issue I found when working with the new iPods. 
The color of the ipod determines some type of encoding for the database, 
which is why the proper color must be chosen in order to work. When I use my 
daughters 8gb iPod nano ( green ) with gtkpod, and choose the only 8gb option 
available ( silver ) it corrupts the database every time, and needs to be 
wiped by iTunes.
