importing from a digital camera

[Ben Miller]

I've been trying to import photos from my camera for the first time, 
running Hoary 5.04. I'm prompted to import photos and gthumb starts with 
no problem. However, as Linux starts polling my camera I get this 
message: 'The filesystem doesn't support getting file information' and 
nothing else seems to happen, save for a persistent 'getting data' message.

Any clues?

Thanks for your help,
Ben
