I installed gvfs-fuse, fired up my phone

$ grep todd /etc/passwd
todd:x:500:100:todd:/home/todd:/bin/bash

$ ls -al /run/user
total 0
drwxr-xr-x.  3 root root    60 Mar 11 15:04 .
drwxr-xr-x. 48 root root  1440 Mar 11 15:40 ..
drwx------.  8 todd users  200 Mar 11 15:04 500

$ ls -al /run/user/500/gvfs
total 0
drwx------. 2 todd users  40 Mar 11 15:04 .
drwx------. 8 todd users 200 Mar 11 15:04 ..


Then fired up Nautilus, which showed my phone
(and its data) mounted on

    mtp://KYOCERA_KYOCERA_Android_615756870/

No joy.  :'(

What other gvfs utilities might I be missing?
