Okay, here is a last try. Let's compare the package we have. I have:
$> dpkg -l *usb* *kam* *gphoto* *dbus* | grep ^ii | gawk '{print $1,
"\t" $2, "\t" $3}'
ii dbus 1.1.1-3
ii dbus-x11 1.1.1-3
ii digikam 2:0.9.2-4
ii gphoto2 2.3.1-2
ii gtkam 0.1.12-2.2
ii kamera 4:3.5.7-2lenny1
ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.1-3
ii libdbus-1-dev 1.1.1-3
ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-1
ii libdbus-qt-1-1c2 0.62.git.20060814-2
ii libgphoto2-2 2.3.1-8
ii libgphoto2-2-dev 2.3.1-8
ii libgphoto2-port0 2.3.1-8
ii libndesk-dbus-glib1.0-cil 0.3-2
ii libndesk-dbus1.0-cil 0.4.2-1
ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-7
ii libusb-dev 2:0.1.12-7
ii usbutils 0.72-8
ii xserver-xorg-video-sisusb 1:0.8.1-3
Now lets compare our gruops. I belong to the following:

hs adm dialout cdrom floppy audio src video plugdev staff netdev camera
I think plugdev and camera are the most important. adm certainly
shouldn't make any difference here.
