what bluetooth hardware are you trying to connect to ? I can only state 
the obvious, but make sure your bluetooth device is 'looking' for a 
connection request, usually designated by a big red button. If all else 
fails, look at linux hardware compatibility lists. bluetooth 
connectivity is not necessarily specific to openmoko or the fr.
