I have also found this to be a problem with a fresh install of Karmic.
I have a Canon Powershot S1IS and when I plug it in via USB I see the
following:
1. New icon appears on the desktop with camera name as if it is a mounted drive.
2. gThumb importer pops up with error message An error occurred in the
io-library ('Could not lock the device'): Camera is already in use.
3. Desktop icon disappears
4. Error remains and I can't import the photos.
In order to resolve this, I am able to go into the import settings by
clicking on the camera icon on the importer. I then select my camera
and click 'OK'. It will then successfully connect to the camera, and
allow me to download the photos.
