That looks ok to me. Though there is already a 99.7 but there are no changes
that sound like they could solve your problem.

hmmm... maybe we run into a file size limit of vfat or some memory limitation
of the ipods software.
could you post the output of
"ls -lsa <mountpoint>/iPod_Control/iTunes/" and
"ls -lsa <mountpoint>/iPod_Control/.gnupod/"
Mine looks like this:

you could also do a
"ls -lsaR <mointpoint> > /tmp/before"
before you add that last critical file and a
"ls -lsaR <mointpoint> > /tmp/after"
afterwards and then post the output of
"diff -u /tmp/before /tmp/after"
maybe that diff will give us a clue to whats going wrong.
also please test if it makes a difference if you add a "real" file
as the last critical entry or another cross reference.
cheers
