The iPod has 2 partitions: one firmware partition and one partition for
the music. Maybe this was the reason.

Meanwhile, I began to use HAL with more programs (e.g. thunar) and also
had this problem there. I created an fdi file for HAL to ignore the
firmware partition and then the doubled iPod vanished.

The by-devicename thing is created by an udev rule that I added,
because I wanted an entry like vendor-device-partition.
