OK.  Are you remembering that you need to be root to make this work?  I
remember there was supposed to be a way around that, but I couldn't find
it/make it work.  [Eventually, I bought a card reader and it mounts as a
disk.  Instant gui access via the normal file process.]

My notes on the process are at home and I'll try to access them tonight.
