MTP, like most everything that comes out of Microsoft is an utter and complete disaster. Just read the README from the libmtp project (particularly the sections on dual mode devices and It's not our bug): http://libmtp.git.sourceforge.net/gi...README;hb=HEAD

It will tell you that among other problems, MTP devices dont really support folders. I despair of ever making something user friendly out of this mess.
