I have to assume you're trying to 'mount' the phone as a drive or access a daemon on the phone for communication (like you would ssh into another machine). Android has a system that says 'Linux machine X s trying to access me, is that ok?'. If your phone isn't prompting you, then the computer isn't granted access. 1st question 'does it work on another phone or USB thumb drive?'. This will tell you if the is on the phone or on the computer.
