That's the most likely solution because...

... itdb just frees the memory and does not do any writes to the filesystem.
Neither does itdb_parse().

The iPod is even known to destroy its own file system (e.g. when running out
of battery and not properly closing the Playcounts file).

A factory restore has never been necessary with my iPod, however. Just do a
file system check and everything is fine (dosfsck -a /dev/sd<x>2).

JCS.
