I should also mention that I cannot get the user defined USB device to recognize the MTP device.

I used the Preferences' tool to detect the USB driver information that is present by the device when it is plugged in. Regardless, the user defined USB device expects a block-style interface, and MTP is not a block device.

So -- even if on Linux you see a USB interface to your MTP device, that just means the device is present. It does not mean that you're able to use it to connect to your MTP device.
