Hi Peter,
Not sure but I wonder if this may help you:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/193132/unable-to-perform-file-operations-on-a-mtp-device-mounted-via-gvfs-operation-n
gvfs-copy may be worth a look, or possibly
https://github.com/hanwen/go-mtpfs
The original question referred to a Walkman but both Android and issues supposedly fixed in Ubuntu 13.10 are mentioned in the first answer, which is also where the above are mentioned.
Hope that helps.
