It also happens to me.
I'm connecting a Canon Ixus 500 to my N800 with OS2008. It appears a USB icon at the top, but after a while I get "unable to connect, no file system available".
If I click the USB icon, it shows (grayed): "Connected to USB 2 Flash Media Device".

dmesg -c shows:
usb 1-1: Product: Canon Digital Camera
usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Canon Inc.
usb 1-1: device v04a9 p30b4 is not supported

I also tried with another CF Card, one newly formated and only with a few jpg's that my N800 can read with a Lifetech USB 2.0 8in1 Card Reader/Writer. No luck either.
I don't have another camera to try.

EDIT: I tried with a friend's camera (Olympus fe150/x730) and it works (same message about about file system, but it seems to be normal). I guess my Canon must have some sort of non-standard implementation not supported by the OS2008 kernel. Any one knows how to add support for Canon Ixus 500 / Powershot S500?
