Which file has this properties? All my music is like -rwxrwxrwx and 
changing other files to that is a piece of cake. Copying files from the 
desktop to my iPod Control directory works, although I only copied one 
.pdf file.

I take it you're the owner of the iPod? like in:

drwxrwxrwx  22 arjanbos  unknown    748 May  9 11:38 Music

which is the Music directory on my iPod (within /Volumes/Arjan Bos's 
iPod/iPod_Control )

If not, you could used chown (for change owner) to change the owner of 
the file / directory. See 'man chmod' for more details.
'Cause if root isn't the owner and when only the owner is allowed to 
write, your still stuck. Well only partly, since root can change the 
owner of the file / directory.

And you tried chmod a+w to give everyone write access (man chmod)? I 
don't know if this is wise, security wise, but it makes live easier 
sometimes.
