Do you have it set to be mounted as a hard drive?
1) Plug in the iPod
2) Click the iPod button that appears in the bottom right corner of the iTunes window
3) Check the settings

Some of the old iPods have problems with the internal firewire pins breaking loose. My friend's iPod would charge fine, but wouldn't mount. He took it to someone who was able to solder the pins back on, but they soon became detached again. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what else there is to do.

Does it show up in Drive Setup/Disk Utility?
