facebooktoolkit and C# photo upload problem

I need help with integrating facebook into my desktop application. It's developed with C# - target framework is .NET framework 4.0. I'm using http://facebooktoolkit.codeplex.com/

The problem is that I can't get the users albums although my app has permission for it, and for all to be more confusing I can get statuses, comments, friends, etc. I have this in designer:

this.fbMyApp = new Facebook.Winforms.Components.FacebookService(this.components);
this.fbMyApp.ApplicationKey = "myappkey_goes_here";
this.fbMyApp.SessionKey = null;
this.fbMyApp.uid = ((long)(0));

And I've used this code(I've set all permissions for testing purposes):

fbMyApp.ConnectToFacebook(new List<Facebook.Schema.Enums.ExtendedPermissions>() { 
            Facebook.Schema.Enums.ExtendedPermissions.create_event,
            Facebook.Schema.Enums.ExtendedPermissions.create_note,
            Facebook.Schema.Enums.ExtendedPermissions.email,
            Facebook.Schema.Enums.ExtendedPermissions.offline_access,
            Facebook.Schema.Enums.ExtendedPermissions.photo_upload,
            Facebook.Schema.Enums.ExtendedPermissions.publish_stream,
            Facebook.Schema.Enums.ExtendedPermissions.read_mailbox,
            Facebook.Schema.Enums.ExtendedPermissions.read_stream,
            Facebook.Schema.Enums.ExtendedPermissions.rsvp_event,
            Facebook.Schema.Enums.ExtendedPermissions.share_item,
            Facebook.Schema.Enums.ExtendedPermissions.sms,
            Facebook.Schema.Enums.ExtendedPermissions.status_update,
            Facebook.Schema.Enums.ExtendedPermissions.video_upload
        });

Now if I do this(after user has logged in):

MessageBox.Show("TOTAL statuses: " + fbMyApp.Status.Get().Count.ToString());

I will get the number of user statuses, and could read them. However if I do this:

MessageBox.Show("TOTAL albums: " + fbMyApp.Photos.GetAlbums().Count.ToString());

I get zero, although user has about 10 albums. I need this, cause this way I can access the album IDs and could be able to upload a photo to specific album. Any idea why this isn't working or does anybody have any better suggestion for some facebook toolkit for C#?

You need to request "user_photos" permissions from Facebook. I haven't used this toolkit as I prefer to make simple graph rest calls dynamically instead of having a huge library. I imagine you could download the source and recompile it, adding the missing permission. You could also switch to this library which is alot more up to date with current Facebook functionality.
