gtkpod does nothing to mount the iPod Touch, it uses mount points,
either over ssh (iPhone/iPod Touch) or from the USB mass storage
(regular iPods), AFAIK, but I'm no expert either.

Your question is very valid, indeed, as gtkpod automatically detects
that the sshfs mount is an iPod and shows it as an iPod. There may be a
piece of code to pick-up there :o)
