I am affected by the same bug (fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity). Actually I cannot do any file transfer with my phone : sending files from the phone, from the PC, browsing files, nothing works (permission denied everywhere). Also, the bluetooth-applet crashes. Only the initial pairing with the phone went fine. Typical errors in syslog are :
