New androids, like the Nexus 4 use MTP instead of the traditional mounting
of the Phone's memory as a USB device, like a thumb drive.
This means that the mounted device does not get a drive letter, like G:/.
So, how does this work with Briefcase, which isn't able to find the mounted
device to transfer files over MTP?

Neil,
The problem you are describing is a known issue. See this thread:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/opendatakit/1dXyguV0NE0/H-zSwTzgRO8J
and this bug report:
https://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=682. One good
workaround is to copy the /odk folder from your phone to your computer
and use ODK Briefcase to point to that copy.

Thanks Yaw. I had used the workaround of copying, I was just hoping there
was a way to assign a regular drive letter to the device.

Also -- I don't know if it is just with the development drivers, or if it
is also true of the standard MTP drivers, but I have also been battling
with getting the /odk directory to appear on the MTP device on my Windows
PC. Sometimes I have to uninstall the driver to get it to refresh the
content shown for the MTP device.
A very frustrating and bad user experience. I hope non-developers aren't
seeing this.

If anybody wants to tackle figuring out how to access an MTP protocol
in Java the core team will be happy to take your example and put into
to Briefcase so the MTP problems goes away.
The core team is very focused on releases right now and don't have
time in the immediate future to tackle the MTP problem. If somebody
else does I am sure it would make many users happy. Again, fhe core
team will be happy to do all the work on Briefcase, what the core team
needs is an example program written in java that can create files,
read files, and create directories, list files, etc on an MTP device.
