DigiKam And Sony DSC-P10 Wont Talk

When I select my Sony DSC-P10 (PTP or Normal mode) in digiKam's Camera
drop down I get this:
"Failed to connect to camera. Please make sure its connected properly
and turned on. Would you like to try again?"
I'm reasonably sure that it's connected properly having followed my Sony
manual instructions. The blue viewing screen shows USB Mode NORMAL or
PTP(whichever I select in the setup menu) with the four red dots that
quickly turn to white shortly after turning on the camera. DigiKam
didn't autodetect my camera but I found it listed in the db file and
selected it from the Add Camera list. I read all the related manuals
and the set up info in all the "refered to" configuration files.
Nothing works. I'm bewildered at how many configuration files for
different programs that is required to set up digiKam. At least my
scanner works as I'm able to scan from it and place the image in my
Album->Pictures file. However, I'm not able to use the memory card
reader to download images from the memory stick. I would like to use my
Epson Stylus CX6400 memory card reader to download images from the
camera but haven't seen any reference to it.
I'm reasonably sure this is all some Debian setup issue but can't figure
it out myself after reading manuals and all instructions in the various
configuration files. I'm still a newbie with Debian and Linux in
general and definately would appreciate any help getting my camera
images downloaded. I didn't include any setup/configuration files as
there are so many; please request what is pertinent and I'll transmit
them. Please copy my email address on any replys as I'm not
subscribed(I'll monitor the list but it's easier to reply if you cc my
email address).
Thanks for your consideration and help,

Leonard Chatagnier

I had to fiddle with permissions for USB ports, a good read @
