After upgrading to gnome 3.14, also unmasking gnome-extra/gnome-user-share-3.14.2, I am having problems with bluetooth. Sending files from gnome seems to work ok. But receiving them fails with "transfer forbidden by target device" error message. I see these messages in the logs: Mar 10 10:24:41 mordor obexd[4990]: connect error: Connection refused (111) Mar 10 10:24:41 mordor gnome-session[4749]: (empathy:20400): bluez-WARNING **: Error changing connection state for device ‘Gimbley’ (F8:DB:7F:6C:AB:AD): An OBEX address book transfer from device ‘Gimbley’ could not be started: GDBus.Error:org.bluez.obex.Error.Failed: connect error: Connection refused (111) Mar 10 10:24:41 mordor obexd[4990]: CONNECT(0x0), (null)(0xffffffff) Mar 10 10:24:41 mordor obexd[4990]: CONNECT(0x0), (null)(0x0) Mar 10 10:24:43 mordor obexd[4990]: PUT(0x2), (null)(0xffffffff) Mar 10 10:24:44 mordor obexd[4990]: open(/home/mgiritli/.cache/obexd/WOHVUX): Operation not permitted (1) Mar 10 10:24:44 mordor obexd[4990]: PUT(0x2), FORBIDDEN(0x43) Mar 10 10:24:45 mordor obexd[4990]: DISCONNECT(0x1), (null)(0xffffffff) Mar 10 10:24:45 mordor obexd[4990]: DISCONNECT(0x1), SUCCESS(0x20) Mar 10 10:24:45 mordor bluetoothd[335]: Unable to get io data for Object Push: getpeername: Transport endpoint is not connected (107) ...

I finally found the problem. My cache dir was a symlink, which is forbidden by obexd.
