Amarok won't eject ipod on Disconnect

Listed below is the post I put on the ubuntu forum (under kubuntu).  I tried 
to also put it in the Amarok bug site following instruction listed in 
"About", but it said "kfmclient not installed".  I couldn't find kfmclient 
with synaptic so I am sending this out as an email.  Any help in getting 
this fixed would be appreciated.

Thanks

I am trying to run Amarok on gnome hardy, since it is the only app that I 
have had success with managing my ipod nano. (I use KAudioCreator to rip cds 
and create aac (m4a) files.) However, when I perform the Disconnect command 
in Amarok, it doesn't eject the ipod so the ipod screen still says "Do not 
Disconnect". I have tried using the suggestion of a post disconnect command 
of 'echo "<your password>" | sudo -S eject -m %d'. However, under gnome this 
always ejects my cd drive instead of the ipod. I don't understand the 
"language" of the command so it may be a simple change to that. However, in 
addition, I don't think I should have to reconfigure Amarok, when I change 
my password.

Am running Gnome Hardy with the latest version of Amarok (About says 1.4.9.1 
using KDE 3.59). I don't understand the KDE part, since I am running under 
Gnome.

Would appreciate any ideas.

Ralph
