I tested this for you because it reminded me that it has been a long
time since I tried with my Kodak camera.

In my case, FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT with a Kodak DX3900, that helpful
error message means you don't have permission to write the /dev/ugen*
device(s).  

To test plug the camera in and, as root, 

# chmod 666 /dev/ugen* 

Then try gphoto or gtkam.  Works for me.
