I was reaching your view myself....
Particularly since practically EVERBODY has a digital camera now, and a couple of quick shots will save the "before" conditions in "living color".

So, the red wire gets connected to the camera !?

He sounds 100% right. It is hard us tell from here, but if you take a voltage tester and check, the black should be hot all the time and the red should be controlled by the switched.
I think you were mistaken about the original connection.
The fan should have the same 3 colors. Do red/red black/black white/white.
I gave you help -- apparently you failed to notice this part:
From your description of the light's behavior, it's quite obvious that you do not have the wires connected the same way they were before.
If you think that that was a smart ass answer, DO NOT post in alt.hvac should you be unfortunate enough to have a heating or air conditioning problem in the future. Here's a preview: Call a qualified, licensed electrician. NOW you can call me a smart ass, thanks.
You ever figure this out yet?
