I've just sorted out a digicam which pops up as a scsi device.

When you plug it in, the console should scroll out some info, In there is the 
device it's attached to (mine is /dev/sda, but yours might be different if 
you have other scsi devices). Then I just mounted it with mount -fvfat 
/dev/sda1 /mnt and voila! (thing is, took a while to realise there was a 
partition inside the device!

Good luck
