It's difficult to tell. If you built from source, can you enable the dev tools in libiphone and attempt to use dev/iphoneinfo and see if the program is able to connect and read information from your phone?
Sometimes things get connected incorrectly so you might try unplugging and replugging in your phone from the computer or even entirely restarting the phone.

Same issue for me on Ubuntu 8.04 - kernel 2.3.24-46 generic i686.
Clicking on the iPhone icon in Thunar gives me the same warning,
but the iPhone's media partition is mounted in /media/iPhone.
However if I try to eject device via Thunar I got this warning:Method "Eject" with signature "as" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist
sudo umount mount.fuse.ifuse
Then I try
sudo mount mount.fuse.ifuse /media/iPhone mount: special device mount.fuse.ifuse does not exists
Which means that 4 mounts gives me 4 folders:
/media/iPhone /media/iPhone /media/iPhone/media/iPhone_ etc...
until i sudo rm -rf /media/iPhone* ... -

@ju1ius: HAL automounting with iFuse was broken for most systems/platforms.
The whole auto-mounting using iFuse is a hack using HAL and has been removed (especially since it will stop working at all in the next distro releases).
With the current git master you'll have to create your own user-level auto-mounting mechanism or use GVFS which will mount transparently for you.However, this new functionality is not yet available in the packaged versions out there.
Please retry once the current git versions are released and packaged, otherwise we would be attempting to fix something here which has been removed from the sources already.
