Thanks for the advice.  I checked and found that user belonged to one group 
only: user.  So I added user to a selection of groups, including those you 
advised.

I gleefully connected a camera.

And I still get exactly the same error message. :-(

I myself, on my own box have no such problems.  Cameras are just 
plug-and-play.  My box too is running Lenny, and I have made sure that user 
belongs to all the groups to which I belong.

Is it possible that the USB card  on the problem box is USB1, and all the 
gadgets I have tried have been USB2?  I know that USB2 is backwards 
compatible, but is USB1 forwards compatible?

Thanks,
