Blueman-git OBEX file transfer not working

blueman-git's OBEX file transfer is not working.  For the bluetooth stack I am using the Bluez5.

When I start blueman-services, the following shows up:

totakura@iris:~$ blueman-services 
Loading configuration plugins
Using GConf config backend
blueman-services version 1.99.alpha1 starting
_________
load_plugins (/usr/bin/blueman-services:85)

    message, timeout)
dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "IsStarted" with signature "" on interface "org.openobex.Server" doesn't exist

and the `Transfers' setting in the blueman window looks empty.

I have installed the following obex-related packages:

totakura@iris:~$ yaourt -Qs obex
local/obex-data-server 0.4.6-10
    A D-Bus service providing high-level OBEX client and server side functionality
community/obexfs 0.12-4
    FUSE based filesystem using ObexFTP (currently beta).
community/obexftp 0.24-3
    A tool for transfer files to/from any OBEX enabled device

    Implementation of the OBject EXchange (OBEX) protocol
totakura@iris:~$ yaourt -Qs bluez
local/blueman-bluez5-git 1.2.3.20140902.e42abed-1
    A GTK+ Bluetooth Manager (BlueZ 5)

    Daemons for the bluetooth protocol stack
extra/bluez-libs 5.22-2
    Deprecated libraries for the bluetooth protocol stack

    Development and debugging utilities for the bluetooth protocol stack
local/pulseaudio-bluez4 5.0-1
    A featureful, general-purpose sound server
community/python2-pybluez 0.20-2
    Python wrapper for the BlueZ Bluetooth stack

Is anyone experiencing the same issue?  Any help is appreciated.

I just had the same problem with blueman from repositories (1.99.alpha1-2), but it went away after installing blueman-git.
