And Patrick suggested:
You might try:
as root make a directory under /media ie: mkdir /media/sda1 as root do: /sbin/rchotplug restart plugin the chip as root: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/sda1
then try to access the directory /media/sda1

Thanks again, Patrick: effectively it won't let you do that. I indeed created /media/sda1, restarted hotplug, etc, but it will only mount as:
/media/usb-storage-odd-NIKON-NIKONDSCD70:0:0:0p1
I tried deleting that directory, but as soon as you switch on the camera it recreated it and mounted it before I could issue the alternate mount command you suggest. The appropriate part of the output of 'mount' looks like:
pc02:/home/fergus # mount usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) /dev/sda1 on /media/usb-storage-odd-NIKON-NIKONDSCD70:0:0:0p1 type subfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid)
You can cd to that directory:
pc02:/home/fergus # cd /media/usb-storage-odd-NIKON-NIKONDSCD70\:0\:0\:0p1/ pc02:/media/usb-storage-odd-NIKON-NIKONDSCD70:0:0:0p1 # ls
But the ls command never returns and it locks up the Konsole window.
Still drawing a blank, I fear - for the benefit of newcomers, and at the risk of nauseating those who've read the thread, this all worked fine in 8.2 and 9.0
Anything new with this? I'm experiencing the same frustrating problem when trying to mount my camera. The simplest solution to this is to leave the mount tool to do it's thing and let it create the folder. Then do: ln -s /media/xxx /media/usb-storage-odd-NIKON-NIKONDSCD70\:0\:0\:0p1/ Replacing xxx with whatever you want to call it. I always found those sda1
