bluetooth send files okay - but cannot receive

I'm struggling with bluetooth dongle on my PC, and could do with some guidance please.

After much work and time I think I've managed to install the necessary components. These are, I think:

kdebluetooth
obex-data-server
dbus

I then started the daemons:

/etc/rc.d/dbus start
/etc/rc.d/bluetooth start

I started up the kbtobexclient from the KDE menu, then I started up bluetooth on my NOKIA N95 mobile and discovered the bluetooth dongle on my PC. I was able to send files to the mobile phone, from the PC, no problem.

However, how on earth do I receive files??

I read these:

which did not solve anything...

Then I found this:

So I focused on the receive files bit, and did this:

When I try to send something on my phone, to the PC, the phone immediately says "Sending Failed!". Yet I can send files from the PC to the phone. The phone and PC are paired and there are no timeout issues.

I have no idea what this does or whether I've done something wrong.

Any ideas please?
