Did the program auto-detect your iPod?

Make sure you use the newest version of rbutil (1.0.6) and that you run it as admin/root.
As rbutil needs raw disk access to your ipod.

I know what my problem is now i was using the computer at a library as a user not an administrator.  is there any other way to install the bootloader without being an administrator

No, because administrative rights are needed to gain raw disk access in order to install the bootloader.
