what is the output of your groups command? Does it work as root? Do you see the camera when running usbview?

mine shows in red too. I have a powershot S30. Other than that you look alright. Sorry, I just installed it this morning and all worked well after adding plugdev group. Do you have other USB devices working as a mortal user?
