  yes, i found a similar problem when i was trying to get 
pictures off my camera as the device was being grabbed by
something else instead of what i wanted.

  i developed a script to make sure the camera was unmounted
and then remounted where i wanted it.

  i don't have time to break it all out here but the script
is freely available at:

  https://github.com/flowerbug/camera_file

  it uses fusermount, gio and gphoto.


  another script for moving and backing up files that is
for me a second step is at:

  https://github.com/flowerbug/mcol_pictures

  i hope this helps.
