I'm not sure what USB methods your particular camera uses, but mine (an
Olympus Camedia) uses one of the popular smart cards for storage --
which is basically a usb-storage device, which in turn utilizes the SCSI
subsystem.
What all this amounts to is that I have the following entry in my
/etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera vfat user,rw,noauto,unhide 1 0
And then all I have to do is 'mount /mnt/camera' to be able to access
it.
Give it a try and see if that might work.
