I was right - it was a permissions issue all the time. By doing a mount -a I had mounted it as root, and user had no permission. At least I'm fairly sure this is what has happened, because I logged out, then in again, and I can read the camera now! I'm still puzzled about the mount point, though. mtab clearly shows it mounted under /mnt/camera, although fstab seems to mount it under /mnt/removable. I wonder if this is a sort of generic mount point which has to be redirected, and has been given 'camera' on the assumption that it was created for that purpose? Seems a far-fetched guess, but I can't think of any other explanation. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302
