How'd pairing fail?  I've worked with a lot of BT goodness in linux 
(albeit ubuntu), but the pin-helper stuff has never really don't it for 
me.  What I have is:
1. hcid.conf referencing /usr/bin/bluepin as a pin_helper;
2. /usr/bin/bluepin containing:
#!/bin/bash
cat /etc/bluetooth/pin
3. /etc/bluetooth/pin containing:
PIN:12345678

watch permissions.  Works every time.
(my BT setup periodically checks for the presence of various BT capable 
cellphones and then synchronizes the phone books using gsmtools; also 
daily downloads pics/videos from phones with that capability)
