Why is gmapping demo launch failing?

I am attempting to run the "roslaunch turtlebot_navigation gmapping_demo.launch" command to create a map.

I'm using an xbox 360 kinect (2010 model) and running "roslaunch freenect_launch freenect.launch" to bring up the camera. I can pull up the disparity image and when I run RVIZ I set the fixed frame to camera_depth_optical_frame and add a PointCloud2 display, setting the topic to /camera/depth/points. In RVIZ I can see that the camera is working.

The problem occurs when I run the "roslaunch turtlebot_navigation gmapping_demo.launch" command.

The first error I encounter says:

[FATAL] [1518801041.292108883]: Failed to load nodelet '/camera/driver' of type 'freenect_camera/driver' to manager 'camera_nodelet_manager'

Any ideas on why this happening or what I can do to fix it?
