Mike, I can't get GTKam to work either. But something confuses me here : you have a serial connection, but as far as I know GTKam only works for USB. On a serial line, I think you should try gPhoto. If your camera isn't listed, try another Fuji. Those cameras are supposed to have pretty standard settings, like Olympus. Funny thing is, when I plug my Olympus into the USB port the GTKam icon appears on my KDE screen, but behaves exactly like you describe : no go. I have to mount the device manually, then the camera acts like just another harddisk and I can move, copy etc.. Try to go to the gPhoto homepage : http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php where your camera is listed as supported.
