Unable to browse Nokia E63 over bluetooth in Ubuntu Precise

[Jane Atkinson]

When attempting to browse the phone over bluetooth, the phone appears to mount temporarily but then unmounts with the error message:

Could not open location 'obex://[BTaddr]/'
Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

if I'm using Gnome-bluetooth

or

Could not display "obex://[BTaddr]/".
Error: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
Please select another viewer and try again.

Could not open location 'obex://[BTaddr]/'
Error while getting peer-to-peer dbus connection: The name :1.132 was not provided by any .service files

if I attempt the operation using Blueman.

I can mount and browse the phone successfully using obexfs.
