Hi Nuno,

Just a couple of questions...

Which OS / distribution do those computers have.

Could you compare the iTunesDB files that mktunes produced in both
cases? Just a quick "ls -lsa iPod_control/iTunes" to start with.

What is the console output of mktunes in both cases.


Do you see kernel messages (dmesg | tail -40) that give you warnings 
about case-sensitive mounting of a vfat file system on /mnt/ipod ?


cheers
