Amarok has a hardcoded list of file types it thinks UMS devices
support.  If your files are not one of those types it will eliminate
them from the list of files to be copied.  The other reason it might
eliminate them is because they are already on the device.  It
generates the same error message in any case.  I'm sure this will be
configurable at some point but for now you can edit
src/collection/umscollection/handler/UmsHandler.cpp.  Look for
UmsHandler::supportedFormats and you'll see a list.  You can set the
formats there for now.  I'm just guessing that might be your problem
as I had the same problem until I added flac and ogg to the list of
supported file types.
