I haven't looked at any of the 3rd party disk utilities to see how they'd handle an iPod in firewire disk mode - you might want to try those - many offer 'secure' deletion and disk wiping. If not, i suppose you could create a 14M graphics file and repeatedly load/erase it from your ipod.

Magnets are also good at this 8-) but i have no idea if it'd affect general performance of your ipod. theoretically you should be able to reupdate the firmware and all would be well with the world again.. theoretically...
