I have the same problem on Mageia3 with a new Galaxy phone. I've read that MTP is not reliably supported.
There is a partial solutions if your phone is rooted (although I haven't tried it yet). Look at USB Mass Storage Enabler: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mohammadag.samsungusbmassstorageenabler&hl=en Aside from needing a rooted phone, this app only solves the problem of accessing the external SD card - not internal memory. But that may be enough. YMMV. I'll probably also go for a wireless solution as Amichai suggested. I mainly connected my Galaxy S1 phone over USB to do a complete backup using rsync. I don't know if the wireless solutions will do for that. I know there are apps that put an ftp server on the phone, so I guess I'll just have to re-write my backup script to do rsync over ftp or something.
