Rhythmbox won't list iPod nano

Hello.

I'm trying to get my iPod to work with Rhythmbox 0.12.6, but it won't show up. It works fine with gtkpod, but it's cumbersome using another app. It also auto-mounts and I get an iPod icon on my desktop (I use Xfce4).

I've been googling all over the place, I can't find anything about this problem.

[harman@xps420 ~]$ podsleuth

[harman@xps420 ~]$ rhythmbox

(rhythmbox:3290): Rhythmbox-WARNING **: Unable to grab media player keys: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name

Not sure if this will help, but when I run rhythmbox and then connect my iPod, I get this message

[harman@xps420 ~]$ rhythmbox -d
