Oh, it's been showing up in /dev/scsi/host1 quite cheerfully, but that
doesn't seem to be helping.

Ahah, it's /dev/sda1, but...

It's worse than that: I need to look for device files that only exist
after I try to use them!

ls /dev | grep sda              produces no output
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera     works
ls /dev | grep sda              now lists /dev/sda1

(and then it all works).

If the camera is plugged in at the time the usb system is started,
then it does log /dev/sda1 in /var/log/messages, but doesn't if the
camera is plugged in later.

And it's not possible to stop and restart the usb service while the
machine's running, since some bright spark has actually commented the
call to usb_stop out of the init script. Grr (and a quick edit).
