The first indication that something is fubared is that none of the picture files have thumbnails, just some generic icon. Dragging an icon from the camera's folder to the desktop always fails with an "operation not supported by backend device".

I can manually cp the individual files off the weird mount, and onto my desktop with no issues, and the photos are fine.
