I have a Canon Powershot A70, and the same problem.  I bought a SanDisk
card reader, and it works perfectly with a Compact Flash card that has
been used in the A70.  It can be mounted as
mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt

You do need to put the card in the reader first, and then plug in the
USB connector to make it work properly.

Much the easiest solution, IMHO.  And very much easier than using the
software supplied with the camera on a Windows machine.
