Yep, this file is what you get when you use the old HAL callout on a
nano5g (which sends some raw SCSI commands to the device). You have to
use the (new) USB support in ipod-read-sysinfo-extended to get the
appropriate file. For what it's worth, once all of that lands into
distros, this error-prone step shouldn't be necessary since they will
install the "new" HAL callout which does the right thing. Another
thing to pay attention to is that the SysInfoExtended file with the
SQL commands might get overwritten by a partial SysInfoExtended every
time you plug the iPod in (ie you might have to rerun this command
every time).

Thanks for this summary of the things to look at, I'll point people
with issues at it :)
