MTP is not linux friendly. If I have to transfer files to and from an android device, I use Airdroid. The only exception to this is calibre. I don't know how the developers have achieved it, but until recently calibre was the only program that would mount and read both of my android devices (Nexus5, Nexus7).
Without calibre running I just plugged in my nexus 5. It is detected by the system which recognizes it as an mtp connection. I can mount it, but not read anything past the root directory structure (and although listed as an mtp connection, it looks more like a camera connection).
So I'm guessing that either something has changed within the linux kernel, or something has changed with calibre's implementation of mtp.
