Syncing problem between Calibre and iTouch

[yourlibrarian]

Last week I got an iTouch but I have not wanted to run iTunes on it. So far I managed to get podfics onto it as well as Stanza without loading that software. I also got my existing downloads into Calibre but it does not seem to be recognizing my new iTouch so I haven't been able to transfer any of those downloads onto the device. Does anyone know why this might be happening and what I might be able to do to get them to talk to one another? The user guide seemed of no help.
