Camera Automounts But I Can't Access Images

Question

I've been plugging away at Arch Linux for a bit now in an attempt to get to know Linux better.  I've ran into a problem that I can't seem to figure out.  Current configuration is Openbox with Thunar as my volume manager. 
I've gotten automount to work and it detects USB sticks just fine.  I can plug in my Nikon camera and it autodetects.
I'm using a small photo management program called Mirage for the time being till I get things sorted out.  I can set Thunar to access Mirage whenever a camera is plugged in.  Whenever I plug the Nikon in, Mirage pops up, but then I get a root access error ("could not access the contents of root, Access Denied") when I try to access images. 
I've followed the wiki here.  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Digital_Cameras with no luck.
Here's my lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Ultimately it looks like my user is not authorized for the camera group, or the camera is not setting up under the camera group.  I'm missing something somewhere.  I know I added the user to the camera group.

Here's my .xinitrc file
nitrogen --restore &
tint2 &
exec dbus-launch openbox-session
I tried using console kit but that killed any attempt at mounting drives period.  The last post I made was with console kit placed prior to my dbus-launch in .xinitrc.  So, that's fixed.  I can actually read my Pentax camera.  I can't read the Nikon.  So it's definitely Nikon specific.
