    Wow. Sometimes the lack of experianced people on this forum surprises me. I don't mean to insult anyone, but on Hackint0sh this would have been answered correctly. The problem is that ZiPhone does not patch the Services.plist file to include com.apple.afc2, which is what allows access to the main system partition. I'll bet an installer based patch will be out shortly.

    Add the following to /System/Library/Lockdown/Services.plist:
    <key>com.apple.afc2</key>
    <dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.apple.afc2</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
    <string>/usr/libexec/afcd</string>
    <string>–lockdown</string>
    <string>-d</string>
    <string>/</string>
    </array>
    </dict>

    I'll make an Installer fix if someone wants it..
    And of course, this is fixed in ZiPhone 2.0+

    To be fair, very few people who are not developers or have put together a jailbreak method would have any need to know about such things; as many people on this site are "consumers" who are somewhat reliant on people like you, we just presume it's a matter of exploiting a loophole to access the device, then simply flicking a metaphorical switch to grant unhindered access to the user. I guessed that this problem was something to do with permissions, in hindsight wrongly, but nonetheless I wasn't that far off.

    Add fireonfive.com/repo to Installer, then go to Tweaks (1.1.3) and install AFC2 fix.
    Just remember to fully reboot your device with slide to power down!

    Well, you'd need access to /, which is what AFC2 is.
    If you have Term-Vt100, on your iPod, you could do this:
    Place Services.plist in the same folder as iPhuc.
    Open iPhuc and run the following:
    putfile Services.plist Services.plist

    Now, on your iPod, open Term-Vt100 and run the following:
    mv /System/Library/Lockdown/Services.plist /System/Library/Lockdown/Services.plist.old
    mv /var/mobile/Media/Services.plist /System/Library/Lockdown/Services.plist

    Yes, that's exactly what AFC2 is.
    It changes the lockdown arguments from /var/mobile/Media to /.
