This no longer seems to be an issue. It looks like it was fixed by a combination of recent changes to libgphoto2-2 (I have 2.4.6-1) and hal-info (I have 20090716-1):

If other people still encounter the problem with their music players, I suggest the real problem may now lie with hal-info, and not gvfs-backends. -- Scott Barker sc...@mostlylinux.ca Linux Consultant http://www.mostlylinux.ca/scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
