Olympus cameras use the /dcim/something-like-camera-name format. I think that this is similar to your problem with the floppy - a permissions problem. Have you tried HardDrake with the card reader attached? It should detect it. Check carefully the options you have - I can't remember what it gives you for removable disks, which is what it calls your card, but if you have the option do select User. If not, post your /etc/fstab here and someone will show you where to add User to the relevant lines.

There's always someone who can help you sort it out. Worry not - it will get better.
