Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

Despite the topic of your post, you are not looking at the Rockbox menu.
You are looking at the files and folders in the root directory of your iPod.
It appears that the "Show Files" option in the menu has been toggled from "Music" to "All".
Menu-->General Settings-->File View-->Show Files

I'm curious about all those hidden folders:
.spotlight-v100
.Trashes
._.trashes
._.Volumeicon.icns
._.ipodcontrol.icns
.Volumeicon.icns

PS - looks like I was beaten to the answer - but I am still curious about the hidden folders.

The files that start with a single . are created by mac os x when browsing the drive.  the Files that start ._. are resource forks, which mac os x creates on FAT formated volumes.  In laymen's terms, it's extra file information that the finder saves as part of a file on an HFS formated volume, but has to save separately on a FAT volume.
