I just upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex w/Gnome) and had similar problems with my Bluetooth Sony speaker (unable to pair with this device which has a hardcoded pincode). The problem is that the Gnome Bluetooth applet generates a random pincode and the Sony speaker has no way to respond to this pincode as it doesn't have a built-in keypad.
PROBLEM SOLVED! -- Just now I came across this page (http://www.technetra.com/2008/11/22/pairing-stubborn-bluetooth-devices- in-fedora-10-ubuntu-ibex/) -- which provides a script using DBus commands to pair Bluetooth devices. I tried it on my Ubuntu Ibex system and it worked for me. I'm now able to pair my Sony speaker and use Rhythmbox.
