You run a different kernel then I do. The module should be here:
ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/ubuntu/gspcav1/media/

Which version of Ubuntu do you use?

I had to go through this a long time ago. Learning of your own is hard but 
really good :-)

I really don't see what is going wrong. If you do a modprobe -r gspca and then a 
modprobe gspca you should see this in the kern.log:

Jan  4 23:26:37 localhost kernel: [198696.032759] usbcore: deregistering
