In all of the files, both yesterday's and today's:

1) The phone is in Serial mode, not Storage mode. That is, on the phone,
"Settings -> USB Settings -> Default Connection" is set to the "Data
Connection" setting instead of the "Memory Card" setting.
2) The phone is plugged into a USB1 port, not one of the USB2 ports, not
that it matters, since all indications are that the phone is a USB1
device anyway.

Also, your USB2 MP3 player was plugged into a USB1 port, BTW.

AFAIK, Motorola phones cannot make the phone's internal memory appear as
a USB storage device, only its memory card, even under Windows. You can
still transfer files over Bluetooth, though. There is a piece of
software called "p2k-core" that can access files in the phone's internal
memory through a USB cable on Ubuntu, but it is extremely cumbersome to
use, so stick with Bluetooth unless you have a memory card in the phone.
