What you describe should be work just fine. Note that the directory name
shouldn't be the absolute path but just the name of the directory as it is
relative to the current directory. One thing you could do to debug this
further is to take a HCI trace of the data that gets transmitted. I.e.
install bluez-hcidump and run "hcidump -XV" while doing the test case
(be sure to start hcidump before connecting so it is able to deduce that
the high-level protocol is OBEX).
