Sync iPod with VMware Server on linux host.
Like many others, I've been having trouble syncing my ipod with my windows virtual machine in both VMWare Workstation 6.5 and VMware Server 2.0.
To get around this issue, I had written a few scripts to unload the USB modules (and actually forcefully rename them because the blacklist was not honored) on VMWare Workstation.

I recently switched over to exclusive use of VMware server 2.0, and I found the solution on the VMWare Forums.


none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=46,devmode=664 0 0



... Append that line to /etc/fstab.
 
I can confirm this resolves the USB issue with VMWare Server 2.0.
