Fuse does not work that way. If a userspace backend cannot perform its function (in this case - a device is disconnected) - it's free to return all kinds of error even on a simple opendir(3).

If you need an answer whenever a camera is plugged on or not - why don't you check for the device itself? I.e. lsusb and friends. Reco
