finally got it... my install generated a
/etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam-gphoto2.usermap.  I had to then copy the line for
my camera to /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap.  After that I got two pop ups after
plugging in my camera =)

I run gentoo so I am not sure if this is an install bug or just the way
its supposed to work.  Does it make sense to have to manually copy my
camera description into the second file I listed above?  my guess is no..
