Just curious, why do you need to mess with libgphoto2 in order to access your
T30? I have a 1Gb T20 and it presents as a USB mas-storage device. On my
system:
mount -t vfat /dev/sdc /mnt/{mountpoint}
and it's accessible just like an ordinary disk partition (yes, /dev/sdc is
correct for me btw - it's not a typo, it requires no partition number). I
would have expected a T30 to work the same way...
