Andrew & Scott,
Sharp eyes !! Now how did I miss that. Followed your suggestions and
made changes. No joy.......Same problem.....Continur to get the
error message, "Only root can mount /dev/sda1 on /mnt/usbhd"
Every file associated with the camera is owned by "Bob" with "users"
as the group. That includes sda1, usbhd, dcim, and olympus.
Root will not relinquish control of sda1. Any other ideas guys ?
Bob S.
