listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord fails on Android 2.1: wrp_sock_create: socket create failed (Permission denied)

Question

I'm trying to open a bluetooth server socket on an Android (2.1-update1 on a GT-I5700) phone and it fails. I have run out of ideas. Some pointers on what I am missing would be welcome. Bluetooth is on, so that shouldn't be a problem.

I'm also pretty sure permissions are ok:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN"></uses-permission>

The code which fails is pretty simple:

String TAG = "MYAPP";
UUID UUID_RFCOMM_GENERIC = UUID.fromString("00001101-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB");

BluetoothAdapter adapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
BluetoothSocket s;
BluetoothServerSocket bss;
try {
    Log.i(TAG, "We do reach this point");
    bss = adapter.listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord("PrettyService", UUID_RFCOMM_GENERIC); 
    Log.i(TAG, "We never reach this");
    s = bss.accept();
} catch (IOException e) {
    Log.i(TAG, "Blutooth failed");
}

And the log:

That error is pretty ugly and googling turns up nothing. I am also quite new to the whole Android world.
