Chris
did you use any particular guide to set it up?
I've tried varios goodled options including:
http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic/742/howto-bluetooth/ &
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=368069&page=1 &
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=712968&highlight=gps
+bluetooth
and also could you post your /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf file?
mine looks like this (and works well on Interpid)
#
# RFCOMM configuration file.
#
#rfcomm0 {
# # Automatically bind the device at startup
# bind no;
#
# # Bluetooth address of the device
# device 11:22:33:44:55:66;
#
# # RFCOMM channel for the connection
# channel 1;
#
# # Description of the connection
# comment "Example Bluetooth device";
#}
rfcomm4 {
bind yes;
device 11:22:33:44:55:66;
channel 1;
#comment "Holux M-241";
}

Hi,
I have it working in Intrepid 9.04 no problems, and have used
it to
exchange files with 8.04, and my laptop which is intrepid.
All the hardware is HP if that helps
