what do you mean by "file access"? do you mean sending/receiving files 
to/from your phone using obex? if so then you probably want install 
comms/obexapp from ports.

- what phone are you using?

- did you pair your phone and pc? (i.e. did you configure and run 
hcsecd(8) properly)

- did you configure 'rfcomm-dialup' section in your /etc/ppp/ppp.conf 
(and what did you put there)

- can you please install comms/hcidump from ports and run it as root

# hcidump -w dump

note: this will block.

then in another window/session/shell try use 'sdpcontrol -a eric browse' 
adn then terminate hcidump with ^C and send me the dump file.

why? do you understand what this command does? or you just trying 
everything that you can find?
