Just to make sure - do you have bluez-hcidump installed?

You need to set your pin on the Linux side.  For my FC6-based system, it
was under /etc/bluetooth/feed-bin.sh

#!/bin/sh
echo "PIN:1234"

Basically after that was set, I did:

hcitool scan

then it should pair up... and then you can send files to it...

gnome-obex-send mysong.mp3
