Apple is anti-jailbreak, as you've learned the hard way; when you jailbreak your iDevice, you don't ever want to update it through iTunes.

If you can restore or start new from within iTunes, then I'd recommend giving Apple a call.
 
It's an iPod so not much to worry about. Just DFU mode and restore it. Jailbreak again with redsn0w. It will be tethered for now.

By the way you didn't tell us what you have. You might try TinyUmbrella for getting out of recovery mode.

I didn't have any trouble upgrading my ipt-3g from spirit-jailbroken 3.1.3 to 4.0 but of course that was a while ago using iTunes 10.0, I think. Maybe they have changed something more recently. But as far as I have heard, Apple loves people to upgrade the iOS on a jailbroken device, because then it isn't jailbroken anymore (at least for a while!).
