Comment 1 for bug 388712

In Karmic, with kernel 2.6.31-14, I still see the 'cannot lock device' error when connecting a digital camera. Killing 'gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor' stops the error. However, once I load f-spot and import the photos, the gvfs-gphoto2-volume-monitor process is started again. Also, killing this process stops Nautilus from showing the mounted camera as a separate filesystem.

I think importance should be a bit higher considering the number of bugs filed with this same behavior. This problem essentially prevents Ubuntu users from importing photos in anything like the normal manner.
