I've done this far more simply in the past. Just browse to your phone in
Konq and and copy the URL (should be something like
obex://aa:bb:cc/path/to/Music) and use this as the "mount point" for a
Generic media device in amarok.

There was a bug in the generic media device code that prevented this
working smoothly in the past but I remember working with a dev to try
and get this licked. I've not tried for a while so there may be bugs in
this method now... I remember trailing slashes caused issues in some
capacity....
