Can you access the camera via a SCSI device, e.g. /dev/sda1 ?  When you
plug in the camera, watch /var/log/messages, or just type "dmesg" after
plugging it in. You should see a message about which scsi device has
been assigned; you can then try mounting that device as a filesystem. 
(Some distributions have "hotplug" systems that do this automatically; I
don't know how smart the FC1 hotplug routine is with regards to usb scsi
devices like this.)

HTH,
Jeremy
