It doesn't mount.  The journalctl -f command returns:
[lesh at School ~]$ journalctl -f

And the reason I am asking here is that it appears that Ubuntu users
have it working.  So it appears that fedora 22 is the issue, or the
build of one or more parts of the gvfs stuff, or ???

Nautilus is also buggy, and doesn't reflect the phone or any file
systems because the sidebar which showed other file systems has
disappeared for some reason.  I don't know if that is related or not.
