Bluesnarfer Dev


Im sure many of you have heard or come across "bluesnarfer". Its a linux based tool that allows you to pull info (phonebook) from a bluetooth enabled mobile phone. Ive compiled "bluesnarfer" fine, theres just a problem when running it. Have any of you got experience with this tool? Heres the error:

/home/xyz/Desktop/Downloads/bluesnarfer>./bluesnarfer -i -b MAC adress
device name: bluetooth
bluesnarfer: open /dev/bluetooth/rfcomm/0, No such file or directory
bluesnarfer: bt_rfcomm_config failed
bluesnarfer: unable to create rfcomm connection
bluesnarfer: release rfcomm ok

Well, the first thing to check is if linux finds my usb dongle. KbluetoothD does recognize my adapter, it just says: Bluetooth adapter found. Then, hcitool finds my dongle when I try "hcitool dev", it calls it hci0. When I try to mount it in
What am i doing wrong?/dev/bluetooth/rfcomm/0 it says "special device not found" (But then in dutch so there may be a little mistake). I've got the "trust BT1300TP broadcom based adapter

---edit---

I edited the source so that it now searches for /dev/hci0 but, thats not where my bluetooth adapter is located. Anyone know where it
is located?
