You need to mount the USBdevfs under /proc.  The generic usb libs that
gphoto2 uses can detect a device, but to do IO with it they use the
/proc/bus/usb entries.

*If* you will be using the devices as a normal user (non-root) you
need to install the hotplug system and configure its scripting to set
permissions on the usb device as it becomes active.


Anyway to make it work as root, add

none   /proc/bus/usb   usbdevfs   defaults   0 0

or similar to your fstab, and make sure usbdevfs is compiled in or
module is loaded.

I route, therefore you are.
