Yeah, turns out the device really is a piece of CR*P like I figured. I had to add this to get it to work:
UNUSUAL_DEV( 0x1908, 0x1315, 0x0000, 0x0000, "BUILDWIN", "Photo Frame", US_SC_DEVICE, US_PR_DEVICE, NULL, US_FL_GO_SLOW ),
after which the device showed up as a removable media device with an iso9660 fs! Sheesh! And this fs of course just contained some utter garbage software for Windows to upload pictures onto the device using a proprietary HID interface. Can you say "what were they thinking?!"
Having given up at this point, I plugged it into a windows box, and the thing basically gave windows a conniption fit. Yeah, I think I'll be throwing it out now. What do you expect for a $9.95 trinket from China? Sorry for wasting everyone's time.
