Bug Description
Maybe its just me missing something here, but my RPD (0.4.1) does not detect my Nikon D7000, both when starting RPD as root and as a regular user.
In dmesg I get the following output when turning on the camera after plugging it in:

gphoto2 correctly detects the camera (as non-root user)
%> gphoto2 --auto-detect

Maybe this has to do with the settings on the camera?
I'm on Debian wheezy:

If you look in the directory ~/.gvfs the camera's files are probably not listed there - they need to be. Or else they might be listed there, but they mount does not appear to python programs using GIO. This is a problem with the Gnome GIO / GVFS bindings. I'm not optimistic they'll be fixed anytime soon.
