Assessing USB Mass Storage devices

Hi, 

I'm trying to access a USB digital camera under null (gphoto2 doesn't
support it yet). 

When I plug it in its detected as: 

[mark@stimpy mark]# usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x733/0x1310) is not
claimed by any active driver. 
  Vendor:           Model: 1.3M DigitalCAM   Rev: 1.00 
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 02 
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 
SCSI device sda: 16384 512-byte hdwr sectors (8 MB) 
sda: test WP failed, assume Write Enabled 

Which means that the kernel has seen it and its being treated as a mass
Storage device. 

After reading the USB mass storage device page at 

http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x405.html

I have tried to mount the device using fstab by the following: 

/dev/sda   /mnt/camera       vfat         ro,noauto,user  0   0 

and also 

/dev/sda  /mnt/camera       auto         ro,noauto,user  0   0 

and I've also tried /dev/sda0-10 and just get errors.

yet all I ever get is either file system not supported or I need to
select a file system type (Ive tried vfat, auto, autofs)

I tried the device under VMware running XP (just to check that it is
actually working ok) & it was assessable as a removable device, so I
suspected that it would be vfat. 

I tried to add that, but still got errors, its listed in 
/proc/bus/usb/devices and /proc/bus/usb/drivers and also usbview
identifies the camera correctly, so I know that Its accessible somehow,
just not sure. 

I also ran cdrecord -scanbus and that listed the device as well. 

scsibus1: 
        1,0,0   100) '        ' '1.3M DigitalCAM ' '1.00' Removable Disk

Can anyone possibly help on this one. 

Cheers 

Mark
