Can't write to iPod 5G (Video)

A few days ago my iPod (5g Video, with version 1.3 firmware) wasn't working properly so I used iTunes on a different computer to "restore" it to its original state. Now I cannot use my computer (Arch, KDE 4.4.5, Amarok 2.3.1, libgpod 0.7.93-1) to put music on it anymore. Amarok will start to write to it, and even go up a variable amount of %, but then it will freeze. I have to hard reset my iPod to get it unfrozen again.

However I can use the other computer that has iTunes to put music on my iPod and it will work.

But this is extremely inconvenient (and irritating). Anyone have any idea what might be going on?
