In my case I could not send files from F15 either when I had installed all updates. My hcidump output (sorry, I do not have it right now) said that the rejection (which you have mentioned) was due to an authentication failure. Other error messages elsewhere also hint at being unable to find the OBEX transfer service on the phone.
