Have you ever used that camera to download pictures via USB storage?
Canon cameras often do not support this. In this case, you can not the
procedure above to start a program if the camera is plugged in, because
it isn't a removable drive or media.

You might take a look at gphoto2 to download the photos from the
camera, or use a USB card reader.
