I have a Sony DSC-S75, which also uses the Sony Memory Stick as its storage
medium. From looking at the specs for you camera on
www.dpreview.com, it
looks like our cameras are pretty similar. I am able to mount the media
while it is in the camera, and have no problems deleting files from the
memory stick.

I have a line like this in my /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/camera vfat rw,noauto,user 0 0
I connect my camera to a USB port on my Linux box (RedHat 8.0) and run
"mount /mnt/camera" (or click on the device icon I created on my KDE3
desktop), and I am able to see the photos on the memory stick in my camera.
I am able to copy them to my harddrive, remove them, and even add files to
the memory stick. I wonder if the problem is that you're using tmpfs as
your filesystem type. What if you change that to vfat?

I've never had any luck with gphoto or gkam. Of course, I only mucked
around with them for a few minutes because I found it much easier to just
copy the photos from my camera to my hard drive and then edit them with the
Gimp.
