Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to sync your iPod Classic with iTunes as you are receiving an error. Since you have attempted to change the permissions of your media folder and then issue persists, can you place your iPod in disk mode and attempt to sync again?
Cheers

Thank you for your reply. I would like to update my problem status to: partially solved. While I have yet to try your idea, I did narrow the problem down to a previously-existing album. I deleted the album from iTunes, and re-added it by adding file-by-file instead of by folder and that seemed to do the trick. I have no explanation for why the iPod and iTunes synced without problem for years and then, suddenly, this pre-existing album that has been synced before started to give problems.
If my problem were to arise again, I will try your suggestion. Thank you.
Regards from Massachusetts,
Jonathan

Occasionally iTunes may give error messages which don't really reflect the underlying cause of the issue. Make sure you have a decent backup of your library in case the problem was caused by data corruption on the source drive. See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy.
