I am still trying to get to grips with bluetooth audio myself, but I 
understand that this 'error' message is just a product of the OBEX server 
which you probably have running at the same time.  OBEX deals with file 
transfers, so is probably good for your phone, from which you can copy files 
to and from, but not so for an audio device.  The message is a warning that 
you can't transfer files to that aduio device, which is what you'ld expect, 
err, once you have come to expect it.  I lost a day trying to solve this same 
problem until I realised it wasn't THE problem.

I am still having problems with my bluetooth audio though.  I am struggling 
with a real basic first though; I can't find any log files that deal with the 
bluetooth connection, for bluez anyway.  I am trying Blueman as a connection 
tool and the best 'log' I have so far is the terminal output when I run this 
connection manager.

Where else should I look to get more information about what is going wrong 
with my bluetooth connection?
