There are several things you could try:

1. Try the command line gnomevfs tools, e.g.
gnomevfs-ls obex://[11:22:33:44:55:66]/
(where "11:22:33:44:55:66" is the BT address of your phone, you can find 
it out e.g. with "gconftool -g /system/osso/connectivity/BT/preferred")

2. Try a command line obex bluetooth client such as obc available from 
osso-obc package in the maemo.org repository:
http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo1.1/free/o/osso-obc/free/o/osso-obc/
(note that that package cannot be installed using the application 
installer, you'll need to use dpkg -x or something similar).

3. Install the bluez-hcidump package. The output of "hcidump -X -V" 
when trying to access the phone via filemanager could reveal something.
