Thanks Tim. That didn't work, but the CLI did provide a possibly more
informative error message:

error returned by libusb_claim_interface() = -6LIBMTP PANIC: Unable to
initialize device
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'MtpErrorCantOpenDevice'
what(): Can't open device

The phone itself has instructions for file transfer with Windows and Mac
computers, but not Linux. As Android is based on Linux, that seems a
little odd to me.

I have found a way to contact the manufacturer, Motorola. Maybe they can
solve the problem.
