(Not that you'd have to do that every time, but it sometimes helps to get something recognised in the first place.) I have often found that it helps to run HardDrake after plugging in a removable device, which is really what this is.
The other problem is that with 10.1 you meet the problem of the floating sdx - where the mount point can change its name every time you try it, so any mount that's set up will not find the drive. You may have to use HardDrake to see what device name it has, then amend your mount-point to match. A PITB. Lastly, I'd recommend getting the latest packages for Digikam. The ones with the distro are fairly old, and it sometimes helps. I'm running digikam-0.7.1-1tex.i586.rpm.
