got it -- thanks.  rebooted and all is well.  i'll use /mnt
in the future for gphotofs.  actually, automount no longer
happens right away when i plug in a memory stick, but
requires that i double click on the desktop icon for the usb
drive -- THEN it mounts.   it's hard to keep up.

btw, i have yet another problem.  i have two linux
computers: an acer running xubuntu and an asus running
lubuntu and can't get scp to work between them.  i finally
was able to transfer files using rsync, but what about scp?
ssh works ok.  am i using a wrong port, i.e. 22?

tia,
ole dan
