I purchased some music from iTunes some time ago but recently made a new Apple account when I bought an iPod Touch 4Gen. Now the music purchased on the old account will not play on the iPod set up with the new account. Any idea why? Is this because of some type of permissions issue?

Try SharePod:

Backup all those tracks you just can't lose onto your computer. Import them automatically into your iTunes library.Share
SharePod can run straight from the iPod itself, so you can use it at work, school, home - wherever you and your iPod are.
Yes - I had to do this for the same devices: 2G to 4G. I think I just synced the new iPod Touch (there is no such thing as an iTouch) with iTunes, and everything went over, but I might have had to restore a backup from the old to the new.

Yes. The music is assigned to the old account. In order to play that music you will have to sign into your iPod with your old accounts credentials. There may be a way to merge accounts but I am unaware of that. Apple does this to ensure everyone on different accounts actually has to purchase music separately hence more profit for Apple.
