iPod Shuffle Won't Sync Playlists?

I have a bunch of playlists on my iPod. Today it just stopped syncing them. Some it will put the name on the iPod, but only a few of the podcasts instead of the whole list. Some playlists it won't even copy the name.

I did delete everything and restore it, but they still didn't copy over. The podcasts are in my library, even on my iPod, but not the playlists.

Update:

I'm running ITunes 9 on Windows XP, and I'm re-installing it, in case that fixes it.

Update 2:

It turns out it is probably a problem with the filename, since the podcast transfers over fine with a standard filename, but not with the iTunes name. I've spoken to the publisher.

I'm giving best answer to the only non-spammer who answered.

    It could be your iPod is too small? Or you can double check your iPod settings. Click on it when it comes up on iTunes. It will say what every you named it. Click that and make sure your syncs the library. There will be a box that says "Sync only checked songs and videos" make sure its checked. (if you want it to be "manage music and videos thats fine.) Go to the Podcasts tab on the screen and click "sync podcasts." If none of this works Check your characters! Some of the iPods wont copy over some symbols in the title of songs or playlists.

    Hope this helps. :]
