Firstly, MANY thanks--your link was the thing that fixed it for me.

It wasn't an rpm, I just used the link that you gave

http://marcofalchi.blogspot.com/2012/02/android-ics-usb-storage-on-fedora-16.html,
downloaded the tarball from the link on the page, ran .configure && make &&
sudo make install.

As for libmtp, rpm -qi shows that I'm using the standard CentOS one. 

Note that it was (for me) rough around the edges, I didn't worry about
permissions, had to run mtp-detect a couple of times, but it did work.  My
needs are really simple though, copying a DRM ebook back and forth, or
possible a short video snippet I made to show a friend, custom Ringtones
and the like.
