Bluetooth errors


I have been using suse to send and recieve files to and from my mobile phones with no problems at all, it worked "out of the box" with 10.0 and was the same with 10.1, with several different phones.
Now, after a clean install of kanotix/debian I was having trouble getting it to work and after eventually sorting it out I found I could browse the contents of the phone in konqueror and various other things.
So when I got back to suse I tried the same thing but got this error -
Code:
Malformed URL
sdp://shane/
Can anyone tell me what's wrong?
As I said, I can send files from phone to suse and from suse to phone using kbluetoothd and kbtobexclient, but I am unable to browse through the phone or do anything else with it.

You may need to install the bluez-sdp package.

Where would I find this bluez-sdp package?
I've searched through my smart, apt and yast repos and there is no sign of it, I have every other bluetooth related package I can find installed.
I've also looked on rpm.pbone and rpmfind but there is no bluez-sdp package for versions of suse later than 9.x
I've seen a sourceforge page on google but the site appears to be down at the moment though it seems strange that I would have to hunt down and compile a particular package just to get bluetooth working fully.

Actually, looks like it should be in bluez-libs in 10.1.

I have all the bluez and obex stuff plus all other bluetooth/mobile phone related packages I can find but I'm still getting nowhere.

To top things off, all of a sudden, when I send files to suse from my mobile, suse is no longer asking if I want to allow it or where to save the file.
Does this mean anyone can send me things without permission? it does mean I have to keep copying things from the directory it sends them to to the one I want.
I've removed all paired devices and before I started messing around getting browsing to work I made backups of everything in /etc/bluetooth and have now returned to the original configs so I don't know why the behaviour has changed.
