If I understood things right: the problem arises from cases where udev has successfully provided a device which is used by jpilot but is not yet ready for data transfer. If (as in the camera case) in one step you establish the connection things have settled until you - in a second step - start the transfer. However I am not familiar with the Linux internals and maybe I am completely wrong. Friedrich
