Apologies for not doing enough research first. I found the solution,
listed below.

For the lazy:

lsusb to get the device name/id, e.g.:

Bus 001 Device 010: ID 040a:05a2 Kodak Co.

Add to /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libgphoto2.rules a line with that info, e.g.:

SYSFS{idVendor}=="040a", SYSFS{idProduct}=="05a2", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"

Restart udev (/etc/init.d/udev restart).

Works!

Who says Ubuntu ain't for humans? ;)
