I rebooted the system that I was using and that cleared the portmap 
problem.  I had applied quite a few updates without rebooting so one of 
the updates was probably causing the weirdness with portmap.  Once the 
system was back up I tried running gphoto2 from the console in run level 
3 (without X running).  This sort of worked in that the camera was 
detected and I got some information about the camera but the last 
meaningful output is:

...
File upload support                 : yes
*** Error (-1: 'Unspecified error') ***

This is followed by instructions for running gphoto2 in debug mode.  No 
pictures are uploaded from the camera.  On the other hand, gthumb 
continues to work as expected.

I am noticing some seliniux messages logged when I activate the camera 
and gthumb starts:

Jan 13 12:46:59 fubar kernel: audit(1168717619.687:5): avc:  denied  { 
dac_override } for  pid=2424 comm="pcscd" capability=1 
scontext=system_u:system_r:pcscd_t:s0 
tcontext=system_u:system_r:pcscd_t:s0 tclass=capability

For a variety of reasons I switched selinux to "permissive" mode.  You 
might give that a try although doing so may only allow you to get to the 
error message I'm getting with gphoto2.  It may allow gthumb to start 
working.  One of my "things to do" is to try to figure out why selinux 
is spewing "avc: denied" messages on this and my other FC6 box.  It 
started after a policy update a while ago and seems to be getting worse.

Cheers,
Dave
