I'm seeing the same error on my machine, 14.04, AMD64. Shotwell copies
the photos to the library location, but fails to add them to the
database or display them in the program. I've tried deleting the library
location, changing it to default location of ~/Pictures, checked the
permissions on the folders to be sure that they're 770.

I've also checked the permissions on the library database and have
deleted the database a few times to see if that's the issue.

I've checked the photo.db file in ~/.local/share/shotwell/data folder,
and the PhotoTable table is empty after each import.

I've also tried turning off the "Write tags titles  and other metadata
to photo files" option and the "rename imported files to lowercase"
option. This also had no effect.
