Hello everyone,
This worked fine on my older Android Photon Q so I expected the same on
this new Galaxy S5. I plugged in the cable, found the mount point and,
as my guest1 user, located the filesystem and files. I saw they were rw
(read/write) and thought all was well. I tried to tar the whole thing up
and noticed errors. Here's some more detail:

Not sure I have ever seen a situation like this. I can change the phone
from MTP to PTP mode but then all of the files do not show up (but I can
copy the files that do). I tried looking at this issue on the net but
all I got was noise.
This is on:
Fedora release 21 (Twenty One)
Kernel \r on an \m (\l)
Linux

Thanks in advance for any help. I should have checked this right when I
got the phone but didn't think of it.
