See http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/halfaq.html .  File systems listed
in fstab will only be mounted under certain conditions.

The camera may be getting unique handling.  Gvfs is built with gphoto2
support by default.  When that is enabled, certain cameras will be
available to gphoto, but perhaps not mountable.  Try rebuilding gvfs
without gphoto support, and see if that helps.
