** Description changed:

- I have upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10.
+ 1)  lsb_release -rd
+ Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
+ Release:	14.04
  
- And as usual, with the upgrade, a whole new bluetooth issue, which this
- times makes transferring files from the phone to the computer (which
- already was painful) completely impossible!
+ 2) apt-cache policy gvfs
+ gvfs:
+   Installed: 1.20.1-1ubuntu1
+   Candidate: 1.20.1-1ubuntu1
+   Version table:
+  *** 1.20.1-1ubuntu1 0
+         500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
+         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
  
- How I reproduce (100% systematic):
- 1 - click on the Bluetooth icon in the notification area
- 2 - from the dropdown menu, choose "bluetooth settings"
- 3 - select the phone among the listed devices
- 4 - click on "Browse files"
- 5 - A Nautilus windows opens, allowing me to browse files on the phone. Open the DCIM/Camera folder
- 6 - Select a couple of files. Either drag and drop them, or copy and then paste them, into a folder on the computer
+ 3) What is expected to happen is when one pairs their bluetooth phone,
+ browses it, and attempt to copy a file from the phone to Ubuntu, it does
+ so successfully.
  
- => I systematically get an error, but it can be any of the two variants
- shown in the two screenshots (one says there was an error copying the
- file, the other says there was an error getting information about the
- file; in both cases the given reason is "another operation in progress".
- Note also that in one case there is a Retry button, in the other there
- is not - pure nonsense).
+ 4) What happens instead is a window pops up noting:
+ Error while copying “example.txt”.
+ There was an error copying the file into /home/test/
+ Show more details
+ Another operation in progress
  
- I then "ejected" the phone with  the eject button next to its name in
- Nautilus, and repeated the whole process.
+ Originally reproduced in 13.10.
  
- I randomly get any of three outcomes:
- - the one described above (MOST of the times)
- - at step 4, I get an error "This location could not be displayed. Another operation in progress", so I cannot even browse files
- or
- - at some point (not sure whether it was at step 4 above or when "ejecting" the phone) something CRASHES (I get the usual Ubuntu message informing me of that).
