Gene, have you tried accessing the thing as a mass storage unit, like
a disk on key? I've connected an A-series Canon camera (A20 I think)
this way. And I've never had problems with the S2 that I connect
often.

Also, my Fuji 5500 I connect as a mass storage device. KDE just
recognises it and I use konqi to copy the files.
