This sounds like the problem I reported on Ubuntu Forum back in May 2013 using 12.10:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2146129

Still the same today in 13.04.

Basically, when hot-plugging a camera, it sometimes appears in Thunar as mounted & calls up Shotwell as required.
But more often than not, it appears in Thunar as unmounted & fails to call Shotwell.

I would be pleased to provide further details or run any tests.
