Yes - I haven't figured this out yet.  The fstab line was put in by Mandrake 
and I haven't touched it, yet the mount appears to be under /camera.  I guess 
I need to find out where it is getting this from.

I appreciate your thoughts, James.  There's something very puzzling here.  I 
feel that I am within a hair's breadth of getting it working, but just can't 
spot the last link.
