To cut a long story short, I eventually figured out that Disk Utility would allow me to make a complete disk image of the drive, even though it wouldn't mount. Then, after trying different methods of getting this data back to the iPod, I hit upon one that worked:
The key is to then Restore the iPod, and subsequently use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the Disk Image back to the iPod. That seemingly repaired the file structure -- and voila, my iPod is back! Songs, playlists and most importantly, it now mounts.
