Bug reported by Thomas Rasmussen
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=45830

Description of problem:
1. Connecting Nikon D40 to USB port. lsusb shows:
[root at localhost thomas]# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 011: ID 04b0:0413 Nikon Corp. D40 (mass storage mode)

2. In Digikam I choose Import > Cameras (Add) > USB PTP Class Camera or Add
camera and then autodetect. Either way Digikam reports that it could not
connect to camera. I have also tried to manually add Nikon DSC D40 (PTP mode)
with same result. At the same time I am able to browse the files on the camera
using Dolphin.

3. The strange thing is that 2 minutes later Digikam is able to autodetect the
camera as a Mass Storage Camera. But when I try to import photos fram the
camera I get an error popup saying "Failed to create directory".

4. When I unplug the camera and insert the flash card in the laptops cardreader
and then try to import from the flashcard, I get the same error popup saying
"Failed to create directory".

5. In an console I get this output:
digikam(22088) Digikam::CollectionScanner::scanAlbum: Folder does not exist or
is not readable:  "/home/thomas/Billeder/2008/2008-03-24/2008-09-18". But I
pointed Digikam to import and autocreate directories in
/home/thomas/Billeder/2008/ and not /home/thomas/Billeder/2008/2008-03-24/

6. Next time I try I get an error saying that the directory already exists.

7. When I try to import fram the flashcard and unselect the auto creation of
folders based on Date (ISO) the import works ok.
