Hi,

some infos:
normal mode support for 350D/Rebel and 20D is experimental. You
have to switch it on during compile time. For non-newbies this
goes like this:

cvs -d:pserver:[hidden email]:/cvsroot/gphoto login
[RETURN]
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[hidden email]:/cvsroot/gphoto
co -P libgphoto2

cd libgphoto2/
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS=-DCANON_EXPERIMENTAL_20D --prefix=/usr
--sysconfdir=/etc
make && make install

You can reset the busy flag using libptp2
http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/libptp/libptp2-1.1.0.tar.gz 
this way:

ptpcam -r

The permant busy-flag is a bug in Canons ptp protocoll handler.
