That might work.
The latest rpm is for CentOS 4.5,
so I will need to use the source.
So far, it's not going well.

The e-mail idea wold be good if I were willing
to pay for e-mail just to move pictures.

bitpim seem to be the most likely prospect at the moment.
Anyone have a plan B?

Have you tried plugging a flash drive into the phone with a USB2GO cable?  It
might show up as a storage device and then you can just copy the pictures to the
flash drive.

he has a dumb phone, its not going to know what a USB drive is, I doubt 
it even HAS a USB2go cable, the phone's USB port is strictly slave only, 
this isn't Android or IOS.    it has no UI for copying anything.  photos 
go into the photo folder, same as wallpaper is stored in.
