If the iPad has previously been synced with another iTunes Library*, then trying to Sync with your current one will involve deleting the media from the iPod and adding the media from your current iTunes, which is why you see a message telling you it wants to set the iPad up as a new iPad.
* "Another iTunes Library" also means that if you have reinstalled iTunes onto your computer, for example after a repair (especially changing the hard drive), iTunes will be a new installation.

Thanks! I talked this through with the Apple phone support tech yesterday; we took a similar path, toward setting it up as new. This DID NOT mean setting up the ipad as new (implied by the web text) but just resetting the itunes on the ipad. The phone tech said she'd recommend an update to the text on the web site to be more clear.
