Same problem here. I've plugged in a Canon A10 Powershot. lsusb sees it and so does gphoto -l:
pwa@pwa-K60IJ:~$ gphoto2 -l
Detected a 'Canon:PowerShot A10'.
There are 2 folders in folder '/'.
 - DCIM
 - MISC
There are 2 folders in folder '/DCIM'.
 - 132CANON
 - CANONMSC
There are 0 folders in folder '/DCIM/132CANON'.
There are 0 folders in folder '/DCIM/CANONMSC'.
There are 0 folders in folder '/MISC'.
pwa@pwa-K60IJ:~$ ls /DCIM
ls: cannot access /DCIM: No such file or directory

However, the Device Notifier says "No Devices Available". digikam autodetects the camera but then shows no files when I try to import from it. I can't find the DCIM folder. It's certainly not at the specific location /DCIM.

As an experiment I created a folder /DCIM with universal permissions. Having done that, the message from gphoto2 -l changed:
pwa@pwa-K60IJ:~$ gphoto2 -l
There are 0 folders in folder '/'.
Something is quite wrong here, and apparently the problem has been there for years.
