"Error initializing camera: -53: Could not claim the USB device"

[Israel]

Hi John!
I would check out some of the documentation on the gvfs...
However you can try
gvfs-mount --unmount /<location>/
where <location> is the actual location.
You can also use
gvfs-mount -o
to watch what it is dong when you plug it in.
(it monitors the output)
man gvfs-mount
will give you more information.
You can also type
man gvfs<TAB><TAB>
(Use the actual TAB key) to see all the gvfs related commands listed.
This should at least get you pointed in the right direction
