eee Pad Transformer - File Transfer via mtp

Hi!
I have a ASUS eeePad Transformer and I'd like to transfer files over to it.
So i installed MTP from pacman, and i get it to detect my device:

mtp-detect 
libmtp version: 1.1.0

Listing raw device(s) 
Device 0 (VID=0b05 and PID=4e1f) is a Asus FT101 Eeepad Transformer. 
   Found 1 device(s):  
   Asus: FT101 Eeepad Transformer (0b05:4e1f) @ bus 1, dev 9
Attempting to connect device(s)
Error 1: Get Storage information failed.
Error 2: PTP Layer error 02fe: get_all_metadata_fast(): could not get proplist of all objects.
Error 2: (Look this up in ptp.h for an explanation.)
Error 2: PTP Layer error 02fe: get_handles_recursively(): could not get object handles.
Error 2: (Look this up in ptp.h for an explanation.)
USB low-level info:
...

[root@hauke-desktop media]# lsusb | grep ASUS
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 0b05:4e1f ASUSTek Computer, Inc.

The problem now is, i can't mount it. I looked up the wiki ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mtp ), it said, i have to edit the udev rules, which i did:

#nano /etc/udev/rules.d/65-libmtp.rulesUSB low-level info

SYSFS{idVendor}=="0b05", SYSFS{idProduct}=="4e1f", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="666"

But when i try to mount it, the system slows down massively and it simply doesn't work, this is the output:

mtpfs -o allow_other /media/eeePad-Transformer/
Device 0 (VID=0b05 and PID=4e1f) is a Asus FT101 Eeepad Transformer.

then the terminal doesn't react anymore, i can CTRL-C out but nothing happens...any ideas how i can fix this?

Thanks in advance, hauke

The long deprecated keys: SYSFS=, ID=, BUS= have been removed.

Maybe that's your problem?

Re: eee Pad Transformer - File Transfer via mtp

Yes, that solved the problem partially - i now replaced the entry in /etc/udev/rules.d/65-libmtp.rules with

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0b05", MODE="0666"

But still it doesn't seem to work properly: the only folder that is mounted (with the command mtpfs -o allow_other /media/eeePad-Transformer) is the folder "Playlists" - which doesn't even exist in the Tablet's file system! This is the output i get when i mount the device:

# mtpfs -o allow_other /media/eeePad-Transformer/
Device 0 (VID=0b05 and PID=4e1f) is a Asus FT101 Eeepad Transformer.
