I think he's using a 3rd party streaming/downloading app, in which case
iTunes won't know where the tracks are stored as they'll be outside of the
iTunes folder structure on the iPod.

Okay.

They'll *play* in iTunes without trouble, and when I do so they add
themselves to the iTunes music library. This will then sync to the iPod.

Gerhard's talking about when he's away from his base camp with the
iTunes.

He's using a jailbroken Touch, with an naughty application that can
pull mp3 files from his home media server - but can't inject them into
the local Music.app to play on the Touch.

naughty? seems a perfectly sensible requirement to me...
It's stuff like this that made me buy an HTC Desire...
