Your downloaded files are most probably on
/home/user/MyDocs
But directly in this folder on /home (mmcblk0p3) partition. Not on the MyDocs (mmcblk0p1) partition (which is mounted in normal runtime, but gets unmounted in USB mode).
This is a behaviour normal to Linux, but should have been avoided by Nokia for a 'Smartphone'!
you need:
developer mode
devel-su
umount /home/user/MyDocs

Usually /dev/mmcblk0p1 but check first by issuing mount without any parameters or
Code:
mount | grep MyDocs

@Freddie,
Try in mass storage mode again. That should unmount MyDocs for you and expose the directory ("folder" in Microsoft-speak) normally shadowed by mounting.
Whilst in mass storage mode, open the terminal, go to /home/user/MyDocs and move everything you find there one level up to /home/user. Alternatively delete it, but then you will need to download it again.
Once done, exit mass storage mode, check that MyDocs is mounted again, i.e. that 'ls /home/user/MyDocs' lists the contents you saw from the PC. Once confirmed, move the files you moved in step 2 back to MyDocs.
