I get that `missing mass storage driver' message too, but it doesn't
seem to matter.
Do you have to use gphoto2? Would you be adverse to merely mounting
your camera as a usb storage device and copying pictures from it to
the hard drive? Sorry, but i cannot help with gphoto2.
It looks like you are using devfs. Have you tried without it? Maybe
someone knows an easy way to find where devfs puts newly mounted usb
storage devices, but i could never figure it out so i dumped
devfs. Under the traditional dev system, my digital camera is
/dev/sda1. The fstab entry looks like this:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,nosuid,noauto,user,nodev 0 0
so,
mount /mnt/camera
cp /mnt/camera/blah/*jpg ./
is all you need.
