Can't mount my camera.  This is what Konqueror comes up with:
=============================================================
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
=============================================================

syslog shows this:

From what I recall the above messages about ext3 were not stopping me mounting 
it in the past as a plain user, either with pmount or vanilla mount commands.  
No problem mounting it as root.  Any quick ideas?

Ahem. You have a camera with an ext3 filesystem on it?

What kind of super camera do you have that understands ext3? Those things 
almost universally have vfat.

I'd say you have a b0rked fstab. Udev has nothing to do with it as udev does 
not understand filesystems either - mount undertsands filesystems.

Yes, it is vfat - I couldn't explain the ext3 thing either (see below).

Spot on!  I was well surprised to see that my fstab had an ext3 fs specified.  
Must have been from me experimenting with a NSLU2 device and its fs - not 
sure.

Thanks for your help!

You shouldn't be thanking me quite so effusively. 

You have no idea how many times I've made the same mistake :-)
