Did you at least log out and back in first? I suspect that
it won't work until your desktop session is restarted.

As for command line tools, there is the 'gio' utility
which can directly interact with the mtp:// urls and lets
you work with files. You could use that as an alternative to
the fuse bridge, but obviously your life will be a lot
easier if you can just use the bridge.
