I'm thinking the camera doesn;t support the USB Mass Storage spec
correctly/completely. The Windoze drivers do the real work, and the
camera is incorrectly telling the USB subsystem it is a UMS device,
since it appears not to be.

The USB guys would know more. There is a Verbose debug option
for USB Mass Storage (CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG) but you have
to recompile the mmodule for it.

There are some sub drivers already, and this may require one.
Either a new one of adding the device to the support list for
and older one + tweaks.
