I am using FC 2 and have an NX-70V, which I connect to and synch with a
Dell 5150 laptop using the USB cradle.

For synching, I use /dev/ttyUSB1 along with Evolution. You need to be
sure to change the permissions (as root) on that device to:

# chmod 0666 /dev/ttyUSB1

For connecting to the MS, I have the following entry in my /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda1    /mnt/clie      vfat      noauto,user,rw         0 0

Put the above into your /etc/fstab and run (again as root):

/usr/sbin/updfstab


Be sure to actually create the mount point (again as root):

# mkdir /mnt/clie


With that done, you should be able to Connect the MS Import program on
the Clie and then use:

$ mount /mnt/clie

and then use whatever filemanager you use or the command line to review
/mnt/clie:

$ ls /mnt/clie
dcim  memstick.ind  mq_root  mstk_pro.ind  palm


BTW, I presume that you are aware that Sony has announced the demise of
the Clie line in the U.S. and Europe in deference to converged PDA/cell
phone devices....:
