Bug Description
I made a script to find an process files in a USB connected camera. A key part of it is "find -name *.JPG", where $me contains the numeric user id. My user is created as an admin user by the user created during OS install.
But when this script is run by a normal user, find doesn't, i.e. no data returned. Nautilus pops up as usual when the camera is connected and switched on, "ls /run/user/
Have not found any information on this problem on the 'net.

A typo in the bug description :-( :
"A key part of it is "find -name *.JPG", where $me contains the numeric user id" should be
"A key part of it is "find /run/user/$me/gvfs/ -name *.JPG", where $me contains the numeric user id"
