i'll see what i can hack up this weekend. :) i don't have a mass-storage
camera, so i can't test that. i can test moving to a multi-file map
directory though.

we already have a hotplug script that handles the permissions, so i'll
start with that base.

ah. understood. then perhaps a /etc/hotplug/usb.map/gphoto map, and
/etc/hotplug/usb/gphoto script to handle things.
