We have osso-gwobex (I'm not sure if it's part of maemo yet, but at
least it's licenced under LGPL). gwobex is a higher level abstraction
library on top of openobex. Currently it supports only client side
functionality (File Transfer and Object Push). E.g. our GnomeVFS OBEX
module uses this library.

The idea is that you would ask btcond (from osso-gwconnect package; not
sure if that is part of maemo yet either) for the RFCOMM device node to
use using D-BUS and then pass that device to gwobex. There are two
method calls provided by btcond for this: rfcomm_connect and
rfcomm_disconnect (com.nokia.btcond service, com.nokia.btcond.request
interface).
