Well your not alone. It does that with my Mandriva 2007 install.
Didn't do it with 2006 so it may be a bug.

Dave, I got great news (for you too, I hope) :)

I figured out what was wrong with mine configuration.
There are few thing you have to check:

Do: ps aux | grep hcid
If you have hcid runned - then I can't help you (my wasn't runned).

It was strange, because boot-script for bluetooth should run it. Well,
I've googled that I can debug hcid startup by:
hcid -n -f /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf

Then I found out that I've got error in hcid.conf and my dbus-daemon is
disabled.

Error in hcid.conf was:
Unknown option 'pin_helper' line 26
so I've removed it and added:
passkey "0000"; <- put whatever pin you want, of course

then I've started dbus-daemon --system,
then:
hidd --connect my_phone_mac
and this time it worked!

I hope it will be helpful for you. Let me know if you succeed.
