Tom,

I have the same problem with my camera in USB mass storage mode and I have found a simple exemple I can always reproduce. I hope you can reproduce it too:

1) Create an empty folder /home/yourusername/camera.

2) Download "Photo 003.jpg" attached to this bugreport and place it in /home/yourusername/camera.

3) Run Digikam 0.8.0 and point it to an empty Album library path.

4) Now, add a "Mounted Camera" with "Camera Mount Path=/home/yourusername/camera" (we simulate here my USB mass storage camera).

5) Download "Photo 003.jpg" with the option "Download photos into automatically created date-based sub-albums of destination album" (choose "My Albums" as destination album).

6) Now, the folder "2005-07-17" containing "Photo 003.jpg" is created in "My Albums" but does not display "Photo 003.jpg" thumbnail.

7) Restarting DigiKam solves the problem.
