That no longer works with latest bluez versions.  You need to use a 
bluetooth agent that can serve pin queries coming over dbus.  A simple 
agent that can be used from the command line is included in the bluez 
source package.  Some distributions do install it as bluez-simple-agent 
some others like Fedora simply don't package it.
