There's a gphoto2 command-line program (distributed as a separate package
under Ubuntu, as I recall).  Make sure it's installed and try running this
from a console:

$ gphoto2 --shell

This allows you to traverse your camera's filesystem like any other.

What I'm curious is, are you able to run this without error?  If you cd into
the subdirectories, can you see the photos on your Samsung?
