I use simple-mtpfs like this:
sudo pkg_add simple-mtpfs
mkdir -p mm-phone phone-backup
sudo simple-mtpfs -d -o allow_other --device 1 mm-phone # (requires 'allow' on phone. will block, Ctrl-C to stop.)
rsync -aiR mm-phone/./DCIM/ phone-backup/
sudo umount mm-phone
I've had it lock up openbsd once when the USB cable fell out, but other
than that it seems to work fine.
Hope that helps,
