My Canon PowerShot A75 worked fine until I started toying with usb bluetooth dongle - don't know if that is the reason, but now all I get is this message (An error occurred in the io-library...) :(

mikko@mini:~$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 04a9:30b5 Canon, Inc. PowerShot A75

mikko@mini:~$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libgphoto2.rules | grep 04a9 | grep 30b5
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04a9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="30b5", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"

So the line already exists in udev rules.
I can get the photos from the camera if I start the program with command:
mikko@mini:~$ sudo gnome-volume-manager-gthumb

Why does this require sudo? My id tells that I'm in the group plugdev:
mikko@mini:~$ id
uid=1000(mikko) gid=1000(mikko) ryhmät=4(adm),20(dialout),21(fax),24(cdrom),25(floppy),26(tape),29(audio),30(dip),46(plugdev),100(users),111(scanner),114(admin),1000(mikko)

The good thing is, that at least I can get the photos by using sudo, but I have no clue why this doesn't work as a regular user anymore :(
