I've also had similar problems with RFCOMM, that were solved my wiping
that directory.  In particular, I could communicate with my phone once,
during the original pairing, and after that, future connections were
refused.  Deleting the pairing on the phone (a Nokia 6310i), would allow
me to re-pair, but any subsequent connections after the initial re-pair
connection would fail until I deleted the pairing on the phone.

After a lot of grief, I finally found some random forum post about
the /var/lib/bluetooth directory.  Is there any documentation on this?
It seems like it stores the cryptographic keys for the pairing, and this
mechanism changed recently in bluez?  Unfortunately, none of the man
pages hint at this at all and the bluez webpage doesn't have any
official documentation either.  Where should I have looked?
