I tried vfat for the card reader (PRO III) which didn't and still
doesn't work.
Bill@billjonas.com found a bone for me to chase about
that issue that I will try later tonight. Looks promising.
As for retrieving and deleting while connected to the camera, I will try
your syntax and post back with the results. I used gtkam and Gphoto2
and am not able to delete the images. Somewhere I read this and
expected this which is why I bought the media reader.
