Dave,

Unfortunately, these newer Motorola devices appear as... wait for it...
a CDROM drive.

The CD image contains the installer for some windows software that they
want you to run, which will send a magic USB packet to the phone to
switch it into MTP mode. That's really what's going on. I haven't found
any useful information about this online, so it doesn't appear anyone's
reverse engineered the magic packet. Sad sad sad.
