I took out the udev rules, like you suggested. Now I'm back to the beginning, before I started makig changes. I plug in the camera, the modules get loaded, /media/usbdisk is created, /dev/sda and /dev/sda1 are created... but the camera is not mounted like it's supposed to be. I have to manually mount it.
