Ipod Touch Restore Error 2006

I downloaded ipod touch 3.1 and since then itunes keeps requesting me to restore but have been unsuccessful. I keep receiving "ipod could not be restored. An unknown error 2006."

I've been through all of apple.com/support and have been unsucessfull with all the recommendations. My ipod looks like this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275

Does anyone have anything useful instead of the generic recommendations (unplug, restart, reinstall, etc...)?

Please help. I would like to listen to my ipod instead of tinker with it every evening!!!
