ok, i 'll see that usbcam tries to start digikam-hotplug, but sadly 
there is no hint why it fails. So we should check that command. 
Basically it uses the following line to start it

su ${USER} --login -c ${apphotplug}

so please do the following
login into KDE as franck
open konsole
xhost +
su -
su franck --login -c /etc/udev/agent.d/usb/digikam-hotplug

and tell me what you'll get...

login into KDE as franck
open konsole
xhost +
su -
export DISPLAY=:0
su franck --login -c /etc/udev/agent.d/usb/digikam-hotplug
