Hi, Anders.

Are you sure that it doesn't appear as part of VFS? Open MTP in
Nautilus and then do `cat /proc/mounts' in terminal (if you haven't
tried it yet), look for entries that seems to belong to gvfs. I don't
have any MTP devices but, for example, samba shares that are opened
via gvfs appear in VFS via (AFAIR) FUSE.
