I know all that, thank you very much.

My iPod Touch has been jailbroken since day 1 of purchase, and it is now
running 2.x firmware with the db version tweak.

It was working very nicely with libgpod 0.6 + Amarok 1.4, with cover art
and all, it is still working nicely with libgpod 0.7 + gtkpod, libgpod
0.7 having fixed the photo support.

I believe I had explained all of this in my initial post.
