IIRC embedded artwork is not supported by gnupod. You will have to specify
the artwork manually with --artwork parameter. See
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnupod/gnupod.html#SEC17
Embedding artwork inside an ID3 tag is bad idea IMHO anyway, and bloats
your mp3s.

Since you mention 120GB, it looks like you have a 6th generation (6G) iPod
Classic (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipod )
I have a 5G myself, and the artwork works just fine. I think it should
also work for the 6G, but I could be wrong.
In any case you need to specify the following in your .gnupodrc:

model = video
