The camera is being detected as a mass storage device because that's the
fallback -- if the camera can't be detected as anything else, you can
always just mount the damn thing as a VFAT disk and pull the photos off.
Out of curiousity, have you installed the gphoto drivers? That might
help your system identify a camera...
I don't know how to make it not do that, but you can edit that library
file, find the section that's triggered by your camera, and change the
mount point there. Clearly the sections labeled camera aren't the
sections that are triggered by yours, so you might do well to focus on
other parts of the file.
