There is no DCIM directory when I use a shell (as root).

What I did discover was this :

root at wombat:/# gphoto2 --auto-detect
Model                          Port
----------------------------------------------------------
Canon PowerShot S45 (normal mode) usb:
root at wombat:/# gphoto2 -a
Abilities for camera             : Canon PowerShot S45 (normal mode)
Serial port support              : no
USB support                      : yes
Capture choices                  :
                                 : Image
                                 : Preview
Configuration support            : yes
Delete files on camera support   : yes
File preview (thumbnail) support : yes
File upload support              : no

So, no uploading of files, how bloody stupid. I was able to do this 
before using gtkam, why would they change such an important facet ?

If anybody knows how to change this, I'd love to hear from them, 
otherwise I think that I'm b*gg*r*d.

rgs,
