Ubuntu – Where is the Android phone’s mount point, so I can rsync it

androidautomountcommand linemountpointrsync

I would like to rsync my music with my Android phone (Galaxy Nexus), I'm trying to work out the mount path to use from the shell. The mount command doesn't show up on the phone. In Nautilus the location of a music file is shown as:

gphoto2://[usb:001,009]/Music/foo.mp3

How would I mount this location from the shell?

(I know about Banshee and other music players. I just want to use the easy, reliable, crashless rsync.)

% cat /etc/issue

% uname -a

gphoto is automounting your Android device. To find out where the actual mountpoint lies, use gvfs-mount -l. I believe the actual mountpoints all end up in ~/.gvfs.
