I use gnome, but have no camera so I can't give specific advise. But in general I try to get behind the gui by starting an app (like gphoto2) from a command prompt to see what error messages it may print. Some gui apps may have an optional flag like -v or --debug that will print more messages. (Or start it as "strace gphoto2" for even more fun.) I've never actually found a use for the various gvfs commandline apps, like gvfs-info et al, but you might be able to use them for debugging this puzzle. Worth fiddling with them, anyway. I've noticed several times that the gentoo-stable gnome is running mismatched versions of gnome apps, and if I just wait long enough the right version of something-or-other will be installed and something broken will start working again. The ~ version of gnome actually has fewer problems that way than the stable version.
