Digital camera: "operation not supported by backend device"

[Sam Varshavchik]

After upgrading to F19, accessing a digital camera from Gnome is completely  
broken.

Gnome detects the camera when I plug it in. I can browse its file directory  
structure. The first indication that something is fubared is that none of  
the picture files have thumbnails, just some generic icon. Dragging an icon  
from the camera's folder to the desktop always fails with an "operation not  
supported by backend device".

"Image browser" also has no issues showing the individual photos. Telling it  
to save the photo to my desktop again fails with "operation not supported by  
backend device".

In a shell, I see that instead of an ordinary USB mass storage mount in  
/run/media, that I saw in F18, F19 has some strange FUSE mount. I can 'cd'  
into the mount. I can navigate it. I can manually cp the individual files  
off the weird mount, and onto my desktop with no issues, and the photos are  
fine.

But I simply cannot access the camera via Gnome. It's completely borked.  
After a few rounds, shotwell and image viewer fail to even browse the  
camera's contents, whining that they can't obtain exclusive access to it, or  
something.
