Obex with no X

Hi all,

I'm trying to use obex to retrieve the contacts from my mobile using PBAP.
In the test folder I'm only able to run obex-test and it retrieves all
contacts from my mobile. But I would like to use the python scripts
and they aren't working.
I'm running it with bluez 4.42 and kernel 2.6.30 without the X
installed, I installed libopenobex from ubuntu repo.

When I ran pbab-client the output was:

dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: dbus-launch failed to
autolaunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.

Googling I found that SeesionDbus() need the X installed. So I
changed to SystemDbus(). I don't know if this is right.
After the output was:

dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.FileInvalid: Cannot do system-bus
activation with no user

So I added to the file /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/obex-client.service
"User=root"

and the error changed again

dbus.exceptions.DBusException:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.FailedToSetup: Failed to setup
environment correctly

Is it possible to run obex with dbus with the X installed?
If so, what am I doing wrong? or what is missing?

thanks in advance
