I appear to be connected on the Mac side: After selecting connect the indicator goes from red to green along with "connected" text. The right side of the preferences pane
window I see

type: combo
services: blue z hid keyboard & mouse, obex object push
paired: yes
connected: yes

On the N800, I see "Waiting for connection." I've let it run for several minutes.

I get this in the sytem log, but I don't know where to go from here:

Mar 14 10:26:43 Macintosh kernel[0]: [IOBluetoothHIDDriver][processCommandWL][00-19-4f-db-bc-94] Releasing All Channels
Mar 14 10:26:52 Macintosh blued[89]: addDeviceToHIDEmulationMode - unrecognized HID device; NOT storing the link keys to the module.

Updating the device name and services have not helped.
