[wellylug] Digital camera or Mass storage device

Try this, it should work.

I have this :
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 fév 19  2003 camera/
then
/etc/mtab has : 
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw,devmode=0664,devgid=43 0 0
and you have to modify 
rep2="/mnt/camera/dcim/100MSDCF"
by 
rep2="/mnt/camera/whatever_suitable_for_your_camera"
(found on the owner manual)
