Bug Description
When I try to send files from my Android phone to my computer over Bluetooth, the phone connects successfully but then refuses to send the file with the error message "Transfer forbidden by target device".
The following ends up in my /var/log/syslog:

Strangely, the expected file is create in my Downloads folder, but the file is empty:
$ ls -l ~/Downloads/
