[Solved] Unable to mount Ipod with ifuse or autofs

I recently migrated to arch from ubuntu and have been very pleased with the transition except for when it comes to mounting my ipod.  Ubuntu will do so out of the box which I was hoping for however I don't mind some configuration.  Turns out though that none of the methods I try have been successful.  I have a 2nd gen ipod touch running 4.x firmware and would like to be able to have it automount.  As of right now I can't get it to mount at all.  As stated in the title I have done quite a bit of research on the wiki concerning ifuse and some other solutions to no avail.  Below is my lsusb

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 08ff:2810 AuthenTec, Inc. AES2810
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 05ac:1293 Apple, Inc. iPod Touch 2.Gen

I currently have made a mount point at /media/ipod but I can't find the ipod in /dev.  I have searched the forum for quite sometime and although there are many problems similar to mine I have yet to find a solution that has worked so I am sorry if this has been solved and I just couldn't find it.  I was hoping someone here could shed some light on the situation for me and give me some advice.  Tell me if you need anything else posted for details and thanks for your time.

Re: [Solved] Unable to mount Ipod with ifuse or autofs

I did some more research and figured I'd try to reverse engineer how ubuntu auto-mounts ipods.  I downloaded 11.04 and went looking for config files and programs that may have been used for that but there is no udev rules or anything I could find that would mount an ipod.  Is their some config files I'm missing or something that I could basically just copy off an ubuntu machine and get it to work? I really love arch so far and don't want to move back to ubuntu just so I can mount an ipod.
