Debugging with --debug and --debug-logfile also just listed an "unknown error". I could not connect to the camera or even view/download files. Finally I installed gphoto2 from the ports, since I hoped to get more help or information from a command line tool (proved to be a good strategy while trying to get my handheld to work under FBSD) and then (accidently) started gphoto2 as root - and it flawlessly connected to the camera and downloaded the pictures. Since mounting the camera as da* device (usb mass storage) worked perfectly (which would have been my fallback solution, anyway), I could not explain this behaviour to me. It took me quite a while to guess that obviously when connecting via PTP, an ugen* device is used and not the usual da* device for USB connections. Adding add path 'ugen*' 0660 group operator to /etc/devfs.rules (as done before for USB sticks) and restarting devfs and devd via the /etc/rc.d/dev* scripts finally solved the problem and now also non-root users are able to connect to the camera via PTP. So I suggest adding a post-install notice in the install routine for FBSD that makes the user aware of this step. I have not found this requirement documented elsewhere... Greetz and thanks for maintaining gtkam, Sven.
