Indeed. The MTP support in linux pretty much sucks. If it was the
only option, I'm sure more of us would try to work on improving it.
But, like Tom, I just use other methods of transfering files. I
installed QuickSSHd on my Galaxy Nexus and use sshfs and rsync for
most of my syncing.
Installed the free SSHDroid and it worked (after a good deal of futzing
around with the SSH login). However the new music didn't show up in any
music apps on the phone. Then I had a brainwave and installed SDrescan,
which forces a rescan of the /sdcard filesystem, and lo! it now works.
Presumably this is something else an MTP connection would take care of,
but never mind.
