ANDROID CONNECTIVITY HELP PLEASE???

I wasn't sure if this belonged in the Android section or not. I am having trouble connecting my LG MS770 Motion 4G via USB. I have used this method before with great success on Ubuntu and Zorin, but not sure what's going wrong. Here is my terminal output when I command to connect.

Thanks if anyone can help. I tried Airdroid and it does work well, but very limited on the amount of data allowance to transfer unless you pay for premium

Have you tried this as root? Your user does not have permission to access those files.

I also had this on another attempt as su

When I used this before I used the Unity launcher, but I'm fairly sure that I purged Unity when doing the Kde baclports, so this is my first attempt at mounting via terminal.

Since you are root any configs you made as a regular user are not in /root/. Try the commands with sudo and not as root. (my bad)

I put a sudo in front of the command and still have the same output
