I don't agree Sebastien. This is bug. Our use case is that we want to use gPhotos to download photos, but this does not work, we get an incomprehensible error message. It took me about 2 hours of searching online on what to do, but I could find nothing. I just tried unmounting the camera and it worked. Is this how we are supposed to use gPhoto to download photos? I think not.
Some suggestions for a fix (order, best to worst):
1) Work with the camera mounted.
2) Auto-unmount the camera
3) Give the user an option - use camera as filesystem or via gPhoto.
4) Ask the user to unmount the camera first (not really a good option).
