[SOLVED] Cannot access my android file system on my arch

I want to access my android file system on my arch pc so I did- 

 sudo pacman -S android-file-transfer
reboot
[rounak@archpc ~]$ sudo aft-mtp-mount ~/mnt
[sudo] password for rounak: 
Device::Find failed:Device is already used by another process
Device::Find failed:Device is already used by another process
Device::Find failed:Device is already used by another process
[rounak@archpc ~]$ sudo umount -l ~/mnt
[rounak@archpc ~]$ sudo rm -rf ~/mnt
[rounak@archpc ~]$ mkdir mnt
[rounak@archpc ~]$ sudo aft-mtp-mount ~/mnt
Device::Find failed:Device is already used by another process
Device::Find failed:Device is already used by another process
Device::Find failed:Device is already used by another process
[rounak@archpc ~]$ aft-mtp-cli
device not found (filter = ''
[rounak@archpc ~]$ sudo aft-mtp-cli
Device::Find failed:Device is already used by another process
Device::Find failed:Device is already used by another process
Device::Find failed:Device is already used by another process
Device::Find failed:Device is already used by another process
device not found (filter = ''

I don't know why it is saying that the device is already used by another process.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot access my android file system on my arch

Well I can open the file system through the terminal but I cannot open it through the gui and whenever I do this

[rounak@archpc ~]$ ls -al | grep mnt
ls: cannot access 'mnt': Permission denied
d?????????  ? ?      ?         ?            ? mnt

It shows this .
Whenever I use graphical file manager like thunar to open the mnt folder it says "Failed to open mnt"
but in cli I can access my android files

 [rounak@archpc ~]$ ls
ls: cannot access 'mnt': Permission denied
Desktop    Downloads  Music     Public     user.js  Wallpapers
Documents  mnt        Pictures  Templates  Videos
[rounak@archpc ~]$ sudo cd mnt
sudo: cd: command not found
sudo: "cd" is a shell built-in command, it cannot be run directly.
sudo: the -s option may be used to run a privileged shell.
sudo: the -D option may be used to run a command in a specific directory.
[rounak@archpc ~]$ sudo su 
[root@archpc rounak]# cd mnt
[root@archpc mnt]# ls
'Internal shared storage'
[root@archpc mnt]# cd Internal\ shared\ storage/
[root@archpc Internal shared storage]# ls
