The default setup in Maemo for the MyDocs folder in /home/user is not very robust against misuse. In the not so rare case of severe file system corruption, where the device is not mounted at all, the folder will get used by the Maemo system instead of the large partition, which should be mounted there.
another thing is that in ubuntu's /media folder I can see the 2 Gig partition which also have a MyDocs folder in its /user folder... (now I connect my phone using BackupMenu)
This is the right place for this folder, this should be empty by default, but i would make sure it really is empty...
and one more thing: in ubuntu's /media folder I can see the /ot a boot d folder which has .documents, .videos, .sounds etc. folders (empty of course) and a /MyDocs folder
Thats strange, you should only see the content of the MyDocs partition. What is inside the MyDocs folder?
1. in the /dev/disk/by-label folder I only see a "@ot\x20a\x20boot\x20d" named file, which is unaccessable.

2. so I typed "dd if=/media/'ot a boot d' of=/home/my_user_name/MyDocs.dd.img bs=4096. the following message emerged: ""dd: /media/ot a boot d" reading: this is a directory
0+0 read record
0+0 wrote record
0 bit (0B) copied, 0.000507397 sec, 0.0 kB/sec"
Do not mount the device, try to get an image of the raw device, therefore from the /dev/disk/by-label/@ot\x20a\x20boot\x20d device.
