Hi

Most modern ipods don't charge on firewire pins, only the
USB pins, and older mains adapters only charge through the the firewire
pins.

I have a Pioneer VSX-LX 50 which charges my 3rdgen ipod fine but not my 4th gen nano.

Bit of a sneaky low-profile change by Apple.

There
is a device, the schosche passport if you want to google or check ebay
it is supposed to take the firewire voltage and put it across the USB
pins. I have no experience of it but it is likely your best bet.

It specifically states that iPhone 3G, 2nd Gen iPod Touch and 4th gen Nano are the affected ones.

In fact, I have this bad boy http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/3592834/Belkin-iPod-Charger-Power-Pack-DC-AC-USB-Cable/Product.html which charges my 2nd Gen Touch which is on the USB only charging list so shoul dwork on your Nano.
