Part of the problem might be that nothing in my photodl script is
being run.  Contents of script:


dberg@chip:/etc/hotplug$ cat photodl
#!/bin/bash

msg "photodl: starting/sleeping"
sleep 30
msg "photodl: mounting"
    mount /media/camera
msg "photodl: ending"

dberg@chip:/etc/hotplug$ grep "photodl: starting" /var/log/*
returns nothing

I'm stumped.
