Matt,
I am at work right now, and my posts from here don't always hit the list so
I am replying direct to you. It's not as much of a bear to get working as
it would seem, the trick as always is knowing the steps.
I have a Kodak dc240 and mine is rocking with USB and gphoto. I did upgrade
to the 2.2.16 kernel and compiled the camera into the kernel instead of
being a module, but I did have it working as a module under 2.2.15.
Since you can see the camera in ...USB/devices you are probably in good
shape to start with. If you want to double check this you can attach the
camera turn on connect and then look in your /var/log/messages file you
should see the camera being registered there, if it states that Kodak Camera
is connected you are good to go. If you see an unrecognized device for USB
then you need to load the dc2xx module.
modprobe dc2xx
Also to be safe do a:
mknod -m 0666 /dev/camera01 c 180 81
It may be attaching to the second USB port so give this device a try also.
BTW the 0666 should be giving permissions to all users, so you should not
have to be root to attach.
With a little fiddling you will get it.

try to use it as root, i think there is a option to usbdevfs to mount
it with user permission (try to search on the linux-usb mailing list).
