I have the error: "Couldn't parse incoming data."

Ubuntu 8.10, fully updated.
Phone: Samsung A717

This error only appears when viewing the "Music" directory on my phone. I successfully viewed the "Graphics" directory which had about twenty files in it, and am able to transfer files from the Graphics directory. It seems I can also view other directories. Just the "Music" is broken.

So why just the music directory? Perhaps number of files is greatest (110), or there is some filename that can no longer be parsed? Before, I could only view eight filenames at once, although I had no trouble transferring files to and from the phone. I find it odd that I can now view all the filenames in the "Graphics" directory, and none from the "Music" directory.

Last year, I successfully transferred files from my laptop to my phone, a Samsung A717. Some upgrade since then has killed my ability to transfer the files.

This is the only reference to the error I can find:

The solution is supposed to be here:

The solution says to compile the gnome-vfs-obexftp package with
--enable-nautilus-workaround

Not sure what else to report.
