gphoto2 - cannot claim usb device

[Frank Kumro]

Hi,
  I am running slackware 10.2 with the 2.6.13 kernel and gphoto2
(2.1.6) libgphoto2 (2.1.6) libgphoto2_port (0.5.1). I have used this
camera in fedora core (3,4) and could get my photos out of the camera
so I know it works. However now in slackware when I run the command to
get my pictures i get this error

bash-3.00$ gphoto2 --auto-detect --get-all-files
Model                          Port

Canon PowerShot A40            usb:
Canon PowerShot A40            usb:003,004

*** Error ***
An error occurred in the io-library ('Could not claim the USB
device'): Could not claim interface 0 (Operation not permitted). Make
sure no other program or kernel module (such as sdc2xx, stv680,
spca50x) is using the device and you have read/write access to the
device.
*** Error (-53: 'Could not claim the USB device') ***

The only other program running is gaim and gkrellm. I do not have it
set up to automount anything. Where should I start when trying to
figure out whats wrong? Any help would be great!
