   Hello Patrick,
         I think you have to disable the bluetooth in selinux, 
  (SElinux -> SELinux service protection -> bluetooth)

  The pin ID stuff is probably related to requiring a pin helper.
   I uncommented /usr/bin/bluepin in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf,
  and the error went away.
     There is still something wrong - when I rfcomm to my phone I 
get a 'do you want this connection' which instantly disappears,
and the connection is broken. But I can obex push from either end.

   The gnome-bluetooth-file-sharing works very nicely. The manager
really should have the 'properties' button removed, as it seems to do
nothing.
