I run Ubuntu 12.10 and installed gvfs-mtp for Ubuntu and it works great for me with my Samsung Galaxy S3. I just plug it it to a USB port and Ubuntu does the rest. The only problem I have is I can't preview my pictures befor I copy them from the phone.

Have you tried a different USB port? All Gnome programs use a library called GPhoto to communicate with cameras, and for whatever reason it doesn't like certain USB ports.

If your still having the issue you could try:

I can't mount my galaxy nexus with the default packages present in ubuntu at the moment, this solved the issue for me. Perhaps you have an unofficial firmware such as CyanogenMod installed?
FYI MTP will work much better in 13.04.
