Glad you're impressed, zwarbo. We try!

Regarding your questions:

- The icon changes because it's stored in a file on the source drive, and that file gets copied along with the rest of the contents of the drive. At present, at least, this is normal behavior.

We plan, eventually, to handle this with a 'preserve' command in the script (or something similar).

Until then, you can cobble together a small shell script that copies an icon over to the drive based on its volume name, which will be passed to your script (a shell script, set in options -- see the User's Guide for a bit more info). Have an icon file in there named the same as the volume, and then copy that to the destination... done!

- Well, that's much more difficult. My guess is that the drive eventually gets fragmented, and the iPod isn't loaded up with the fastest disk subsystem in the world...
