The phone manager shows an icon in the task manager? What task manager
are you talking about? I guess you mean the notification area of the
panel, right?

Have you bonded your phone with your computer, that means have you
exchanged a PIN? Is the phone listed in the "Bonded devices" list of the
bluetooth-applet's settings (bluetooth-settings)?

If not:
     1. Make your computer visible and accept incoming connections.
     2. Scan for devices from your phone.
     3. Connect to your computer. When your phone asks for a PIN, you
        can enter whatever you want.
     4. The bluetooth-applet will start blinking. Click on it and enter
        the same PIN there.

Once your phone and computer are paired start phone manager.

Sending files is something completely different from sending/receiving
SMS with phone manager. Sending files is done with bluetooth-send,
receiving with obex-data-server. To enable obex-data-server you need to
enable the "Share files over Bluetooth" option in
gnome-file-share-properties (that is System -> Settings -> Internet &
Network -> File Sharing).
