OMG, I have a flashback! If you search the TDE archives you'll find earlier post from me with a simillar problem. TDE did nothing, when I plugged in my Casio camera (usb mass storage device). It turned out that a genius from freedesktop.org changed an entry in the hardware database so that my caera was not recognized as "disk" any more. I still have the udev-rule on my computer, 'cause freedesktop.org don't fix this feature:
#/etc/udev/rules.d/99-casio.rules # UDEV erkennt CASIO Kamera als "generic", nicht als "disk" :-( ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="CASIO_COMPUTER_CASIO_QV_DIGITAL", ENV{ID_TYPE}="disk", ENV{UDISKS_AUTO}="1", ENV{UDISKS_SYSTEM}="0", ENV{UDISKS_SYSTEM_INTERNAL}="0" ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="TANDBERG_RDX_TANDBERGRD6520236564-0:0", ENV{ID_TYPE}="disk", ENV{UDISKS_AUTO}="1", ENV{UDISKS_SYSTEM}="0", ENV{UDISKS_SYSTEM_INTERNAL}="0"
... looks I had the same problem on my Tandberg, as well ...

The world is getting crazy. Last time I checked something related I found out, there is now MTP and PTP - media and picture transfer protocols. Some newer cameras (see post from 2006 [1] do this as well and you have to tell it in which mode it should present itself when attached via usb.
On our new camera I configured few years ago mass storage and never bothered, but recently I had to learn that there is something I was not aware of for many years :) Modern mobile phones are even worse as they incorporate many devices and you have only 1 usb plug on it :)
