Cameras are not yet supported. They will be as soon as I can have HAL
detect mine ;)

This is a fondamental problem of mountAndRedirect. Kévin Ottens (aka
ervin) is working on this issue. Meanwhile, you still can use kvm :
- do not replace the mountwatcher by kvolumanager
- or do not use devices:/ to mount your floppy disks (other media are
automounted by kvm, so mounting is not an issue)
