Yes, that's what's happening, and it's what I don't want to happen. The
problem is that if I have both the camera and the Belkin reader plugged
in there's no quick way of having a script pick up one or the other
selectively. or even pick the correct slot on the reader.

However I'm coming to suspect that what is happening is what's supposed
to happen, even if it doesn't fit with my way of working. With the old
updfstab mechanism a camera was called a camera, not a usbdisk, which
for me was more convenient.

For the moment it might be better not to call this a bug but a
preference, and I'll leave my userpolicy files as they are.

What worries me about calling everything a usbdisk is that it would make
it just too easy to copy a file in the wrong direction between two
volumes and overwrite a wanted file.

I've sent the dump to you by private e-mail to save bandwidth on the group.
