That's normal, your phone isn't a input device...

It looks like obexftp might be broken. Are the devices actually paired?
You'll want to try to send and receive files with the gnome-bluetooth,
to check that the devices are paired correctly.

If obexftp doesn't work, then you'll need to file a bug with obexftp
directly. See:
http://openobex.triq.net/obexftp/
and the FAQ as well:
http://openobex.triq.net/obexftp/faq

I'm afraid that the gnome-bluetooth ML isn't the right place for generic
bluetooth help.

Cheers
