Pairing Garmin with BT: Can't create connection: Input/output error

I'm learning how to use BT in linux.  I have a Garmin and a CE device that has bluetooth capability.  Both are in discovery mode.

Running "hcitool cc [macaddr]" to pair the Garmin looks promising, the Garmin receives the, well, transaction (what's this called?), and says the passkey is 1234.  However, I press OK on the Garmin, and it shows a second message that the connection failed.  Looking at my PC, I see this in the terminal:

Can't create connection: Input/output error

What am I doing wrong?
