the camera might be working in two modes, a usb-mass-storage mode and a
mode (ptp?) which makes it accessible with libgphoto2. if its
automatically mounted as a disk, it is working in usb-mass-storage mode
and it has been initialized by the kernel driver for that mode. now any
access using gphoto2 will fail as the gphoto2 drivers will not be able to
initialize the camera.

check if the camera lets you switch between these modes. otherwise you can
continue using usb-mass-storage option, but select "USB massstorage" as
the camera model and set the mount path in the config (this is how it was
implemented in digikam, i dunno if the kameraklient maintainer when he
extracted the code from digikam has modified it).
