I managed to "work around" this by adding a "sleep" in obex_cable_write.

I was uber-conservative the first time and did a sleep(30) just before 
the close of the while() loop. This obviously took a very long time 
(sleep for 30 seconds after each write), but it WORKED! I've dropped it 
down to 5 and am recompiling now.

This is probably much less than an ideal solution, but hopefully it'll 
help those more familiar with the codebase come up with a cleaner solution.
