I was getting the exact same thing with my 2nd generation Shuffle after I installed Itunes 8.1 to my computer. Couldnt load my Ipod at all.

I was reading over in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1244785&tstart=0 and tried what the guy suggested. I created a playlist of the songs I wanted to load to my Ipod, then clicked on my Ipod. I set the Ipod to autofill from the playlist I set up, then hit the Autofill button. I unplugged my USB mouse, waited 2 seconds, then plugged my mouse back in. Miraculously the playlist began to get loaded onto my Ipod and I can use it again. Unfortunately I have to do this every time I want to add or remove something from the Ipod, but hopefully Apple will fix this sometime soon (hint, hint!).
