Does `dmesg -a` see the digicam at boot time?  Are you doing this as root
or from userland?  If it is the latter, you must enable the usbd in /etc/rc.conf

You could try `cd /dev ; sh MAKEDEV ugen0` or something like that....

Good luck, oh, and are you running X?  I'm not sure if graphical USB stuff
(scanners, digicams, etc) work well as command line captures.
