I think if you have separate logons it may work. Just point your library at like C:\Documents and Settings\your name\My Documents\My Music

and his at

C:\Documents and Settings\his name\My Documents\My Music

and only hook up your iPod when your account is open and his when his account is open.

Oh and DON'T use fast user switching, log off and log on. Then you're not sharing resources with 2 accounts being open.

This will of course take up more space on the computer

yea the two logons will work cuz me and my sister both have 30GB video ipods, and we each have a windows xp user name so each itunes library and info is different, it works fine

You can also sync the two iPods with the one library if you prefer. If you and your brother want different SUBSETS of your songs then you can set up different sets of playlists to sync with each iPod.
