Digital camera problem

Hello,

since a week I have installed FC5; everything works OK, but today I was trying 
to upload some pictures on my digital camera via USB to the PC and the 
connection could not be established. I suspect SELinux.

I use Digikam for photo management, and did auto detection of the camera  
which succeeded to make the proper selection (Canon PowerShot 510 (normal 
mode) ). This means that it can connect to the camera somehow. When I then 
selected the camera (via Camera->Canon PowerShot 510 (normal mode)) to get a 
window with thumbnails it came up with a message :
"Failed to connect to camera. Please make sure its connected properly and 
turned on. Would you like to try again?"

I looked in /var/log/messages, and came across the following line:
Apr  7 13:25:47 localhost kernel: audit(1144409147.815:368): avc:  denied  
{ search } for  pid=2897 comm="cat" name="console" dev=dm-4 ino=393220 
scontext=system_u:system_r:hald_t:s0 
tcontext=system_u:object_r:pam_var_console_t:s0 tclass=dir

Any suggestions?

Aad
