I'm seeing the same error on my machine, 14.04, AMD64. Shotwell copies
the photos to the library location, but fails to add them to the
database or display them in the program. I've tried deleting the library
location, changing it to default location of ~/Pictures, checked the
permissions on the folders to be sure that they're 770.

I've also checked the permissions on the library database and have
deleted the database a few times to see if that's the issue.

I've checked the photo.db file in ~/.local/share/shotwell/data folder,
and the PhotoTable table is empty after each import.

I've also tried turning off the "Write tags titles  and other metadata
to photo files" option and the "rename imported files to lowercase"
option. This also had no effect.

Title:
  Import fail with error message about photo library not being writeable

Status in “shotwell” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After importing from folder and using the option to copy the photos I
  get the following dialog:

      17 photos failed to import because the photo library folder was
  not writable

  Following a list of 17 paths pointing to where the images should have
  been stored.

  When closing the dialog noting is showing up, as if they failed to
  import, which is what the dialog said.

  However the photos were actually copied to the location the error dialog claimed not to be writable.
  Only the database was not updated.

  The console show no error messages.
