But--looking at my 20D camera under bright lights, I cannot find
the switch you all have been talking about. From the (very
helpfu!) photo, it looks like the switch is supposed to be under
the right-side rail (from the perspective of somone behind the
camera).

On the 20D and 30D, it's under the LEFT-side rail. Why it's on different sides on the two camera lines, I have no idea.

I checked the left side of the hot shoe, just in case.
No switch there either.

It's there on the left, just stuck down. Keep looking on the left side. Maybe prod (gently) with a toothpick or something?
