On Kubuntu Karmic 9.10 I have the same problem with an Sony Ericsson
K750i mobile phone.
Here is what I did to get around the problem:
1. sudo apt-get install usbmount pmount
2. Create /etc/udev/rules.d/75-mobile-phone.rules with this content:
SUBSYSTEM!="usb_device", ACTION!="add", GOTO="mobile_phone_rules_end"
# Sony Ericsson K750i mobile phone
SYSFS{idVendor}=="0fce", SYSFS{idProduct}=="d016", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660"
LABEL="mobile_phone_rules_end"
3. Check that dmesg | tail had something like this:
[ 9833.932132] scsi 15:0:0:0: Direct-Access Sony Eri Memory Stick 0000
PQ: 0 ANSI: 0
[ 9833.933302] sd 15:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0

[ 9834.055076] sd 15:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk
4. pmount /dev/sdc1 /media/usb0
5. cd /media/usb0
to access the mobile phone as a mass storage device.
6. cd ~/; pumount /media/usb0
to unmount the device.
This workaround was suggested by

I do not understand the intricacies of how this works or whether it will
always work, but it enabled me to download the images from my mobile
phone in Karmic, something that I was able to do in previous releases
but not in Karmic.
