I'd try unchecking your songs and then downloading a song from iTunes. Plug in the Shuffle to see if it updates. The newly purchased song should be checked. Make sure you eject the shuffle before disconnecting it. This could definitely be the cause.
If all of this doesn't yield results and you haven't given up, try visiting an Apple Store. From what I've heard, they aren't the most friendly bunch (and this annoys the hell out of me - as an Apple nut for quite some time, Apple evangelist should be happy people are visiting the store). They should however be able to tell you if it's working properly.
...and yes, this post is my Apple evangelist side rearing it's ugly head.

I thought about all of that. My daughter even bought a couple songs direct from iTunes to make sure it just wasn't that her previously-owned music wouldn't play (I was concerned about that since she was so hot on the iPod brand). Nothing. I will say this, though. I'd given up and was checking out alternatives online when she decided to call Apple. Bottom line, they're sending her a new one and we're sending this one back. So, aside from the time and shipping costs, we're not as bad off as we could be. I was prepared to eat the price I'd paid for this one (ripped myself off, by the way) and shipping from the eBay seller.
