The input service doesn't support device initiated connections. See:

Haaa. Once I get the capabilities right in my sixaxis patch (I'll be
able to compare the hidd generated output with the one from my patch), I
think I'll be able to use udev to automatically add the device as
supported via Bluetooth once connected via USB.

I'll try and get to it in the week.
