iPod will only sync as root, never as user [SOLVED]

Hi all,

I'm having a bit of a problem with my iPod Classic (80GB) and gPodder.  A couple of days ago, it was working fine.  I was able to download my podcasts and sync them without any problems.  Now, when I run gPodder as user, I get this error:

/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/dbus/connection.py:242: DeprecationWarning: object.__init__() takes no parameters
  super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Syncing as user with gtkpod gives me a similar message.  Everything works fine when I run it with sudo, but I want to avoid running as root as much as I can.  Is there any way I can change the permissions to allow my iPod to sync as user?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sure.  It goes like this:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 matt users 9554160 Mar  3 08:39 /media/MATT/iPod_Control/Artwork/F1061_1.ithmb

The other three files listed in that gPodder output have the same permissions.

Okay, now everything seems to work.  I have no idea what fixed it or what was wrong with it.  I just synced my podcasts, and everything was fine.  Weird.
