Hi Michael,

This doesn't make sense.  The BUS key was renamed to SUBSYSTEM(S) in
udev-098, and while the older BUS key was left in for backwards
compatibility, I see no indication that support for the newer
SUBSYSTEM(S) key had already been added before that.  However, the
udev documentation often leaves a lot to be desired, so...

Can you use udevinfo(8) to give a full attribute walk on one of the
affected devices and post that here?  I'm curious as to what all keys
are being exported to sysfs by the devices...

As of right now (at least based on the information we have), this does
appear to be a bug in libgphoto (as opposed to our script) - we are
simply generating the udev rules according to their instructions.
This should probably be reported to them, but if you want to hold off
for a bit until we can look at the udevinfo output, then that's fine.
:-)

Thanks!   --RW
