What does that script actually do? (Mail it to us if you don't know.)
I'm thinking that either you don't need to run it or you should have
run it earlier in the process.
I personally use "cp" instead of "mv", then delete the pics from the
camera later on (after I'm sure I have good copies that have been
backed up) but I'm anal that way.
You might try using "cp" and see whether that helps.
I use tar so that I retain the date.

'tar' didn't change the end result. I did a bit more testing and
documenting, as described below, to try to clarify what is happening -
still very puzzling to me ...
By the way, I don't have any of these problems with our other camera
(Canon PowerShot A70 - 3.2 mega pixels)

I then took 3 photos - one at each of the resolutions available on the
camera - and:
(1) Copied them from the camera to XP - all photos good.
(2) Copied them from XP to Linux - all photos good.
(3) Copied them from camera to Linux - high and medium bad - only the
low resolution was good
(4) Deleted all the photos on the camera
(5) Copied the good photos (that had been copied in step 2 from XP to
Linux) from Linux to the camera
(6) Copied them back from the camera to Linux - all photos good.
But I wondered ... and so I ...
(7) Copied these copies from the camera to XP, and "no preview
available" was the message for all of them
Then I thought I'd try that again in a slightly different route ... once
again I deleted all the pictures on the camera (at the camera) and I
took 3 new photos - one at each of the resolutions available on the
camera - and:
(8) On Linux, using GIMP to look directly at the camera as a disk - the
high and medium resolution were bad, but the low resolution was good
(9) Copied the files from the camera to XP - all photos looked good
(10) Copied the files from the camera to Linux - high and medium bad -
low resolution good
As for a memory card - I am using the camera's built in memory, as I
wasn't sure I wanted to buy any more memory for this camera just yet.
