Accessing Creative Zen V Plus using Amarok

I'm trying to use Amarok to access my Creative Zen V Plus. Instructions say "Libmtp relies on your user being able to do usb operations. If you have installed libmtp yourself, be sure to read the sections on Hotplugging and Udev in the INSTALL file. Amarok will not work with MTP if you do not have the correct permissions on the MTP device." How do I tell if the correct permissions are set?

If you plug in your Zen and run "mtp-detect" from the console, and it doesn't connect as a user but does when you run it as root, then the permissions are wrong. You need to make sure the libmtp rules are added to your udev configuration and that udev has been restarted. After that, you should have the proper permissions automatically applied once the device node is created.

Thanks for your response. The first couple of lines of mtp-detect are:

libmtp version: 0.2.1

Attempting to connect device(s)
Detect: Successfully connected 1 devices

so I guess it connected. The output is identical when run either as a regular user or as root. There is also a file /etc/udev/rules.d/60-libmtp.rules which has the following content which I really don't know is right or not. (Sorry for the long post)

# UDEV-style hotplug map for libmtp
# Put this file in /etc/udev/rules.d

ACTION!="add", GOTO="libmtp_rules_end"

# The following line will be deprecated when older kernels are phased out.

I didn't start and stop udev explicitly, but I have had the machine powered off and later brought back up.

When I bring up Amarok, I go to Add Device, select "MTP Media Device" and just give it a name such as RichZen. I leave the field blank that asks for a mount point if applicable. I then to to Autodetect devices and get the following error:

"No new media devices were found. If you feel this is an error, ensure that the DBUS and HAL daemons are running and KDE was built with support for them. You can test this by running "dcop kded mediamanager fullList" in a Konsole window."

Running "dcop kded mediamanager fullList" produces the following:

/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_882da47f_3a4f_48bc_8dca_2a8541309de3

Again, I apologize for the long post. Would appreciate any suggestions.
