Turns out the issue was due to, I think, indexing.

Basically all of the other devices I tested on, allowed me to reconnect the USB connection and view the created files and folders.

For some reason my Nexus 5 doesn't index the folders/files, even though they exist.

I downloaded a different 3rd party file explorer application and noticed all the folders and files were there.

So to view these folders and files via USB debugging, I have to restart the phone in order to re-index them, which seems quite annoying but it is better than it not working at all.
