hi rick

well, it's working again ?! i had reinstalled the system again (more to
just get it clean after lots of messing around) and then tried gnomad2
again - but nope, wasn't working ... still worked in the 2.6.5 kernel.

then, after reading your post, i did some looking around, and changed
permissions on /etc/hotplug/usb/nomad.usermap from 644 to 755. then i
plugged in my creative zen touch, and - it scanned the songs, and worked
as it should?! just to check, i changed the permissions back to 644, but
it still worked! does this mean that whatever i did to nomad.usermap
wasn't what fixed it?

i'm glad it's working, but i'm not sure if i know HOW it's working?
