Ben,

You may need to assign a drive letter to that subdirectory on your
smartphone. 

For other users, a reminder,  my (Samsung Rugby) smartphone needs to be
explicitly told to make the memory available to the PC every time I want
to share files.  There is also the usual warning to eject the phone on
the PC before unplugging it.
