I am beginning to suspect the Compact Flash card this camera uses may
be corrupted somehow. I have reformatted it, took some new pics,
connected the camera which was recognized, but I had to mount it
manually. It used to mount automatically because I was running Ivman,
but I removed that thinking it may have been causing problems. When I
mount manually I can go in an copy pics, BUT half the time the copy
doesn';t work or the pic is corrupt. In addition, the pics are bad
quality with what looks like smoke in various parts. Anyway to make a
long story short I am going to try replacing the card with a new one and
then we'll see whether it's Linux, the card or the camera.

Here it is after a manual mount:
/dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/hda3 on /media/dapper type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda on /media/sda type vfat (rw)
