Hi,

Have you tried using jmtpfs?

http://research.jacquette.com/jmtpfs-exchanging-files-between-android-devices-and-linux/

It's working for me on my Galaxy Nexus (JB and ICS), and I've also had luck with it with a Galaxy S3 (ICS). (I'm using 12.04 with the latest libmtp)

Unfortunately mtp is still really slow: keep in mind it was never really designed to scale, and mapping it on to a filesystem will always be imperfect.
