If /mnt/camera was a FAT partition, that would be why the changes wouldn't take
place. For FAT partitions (other than UMSDOS) you need to use mount options to
change the permissions across the entire filesystem (run "man mount" and look at
the "Mount options for fat"). This is because FAT doesn't actually support file
permissions and the kernel has to fake them.
If you haven't rebooted yet, see if there are any weird messages in dmesg. Also,
try installing smartmontools (I think it's in contrib) and run smartctl on your
hard drive, and see if it shows a SMART failure or anything of that sort.

description:
Was trying to change permissions on /mnt/camera as root and they would not take.
So I issued "lsattr /mnt" and the command hung -- unable to kill with Ctrl+c.
Attached strace to process and it too could not be killed. Had to issue "kill
-9 PID" to kill it.
It was obvious something was wrong as soon as I issued the lsattr command... it
sounded like my HD heads were being parked/landed continuously -- about once per
second... (ext3 filesystem)
