Did you try this?
(from http://www.linuxstudiopro.com/resources.php   )


        FireWire Permissions

If you get an error like this in JACK:

*Ieee1394Service::initialize: Could not get 1394 handle: Permission denied*
Is ieee1394 and raw1394 driver loaded?
Fatal (devicemanager.cpp)[68] initialize: Could not initialize 
Ieee1349Service object
Fatal (freebob.cpp)[69] freebob_new_handle: Could not initialize device 
manager

Use your terminal to open /ect/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules...

$ sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules

...and find the following line:

KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="disk"

...and make it read:

KERNEL=="raw1394", GROUP="audio"

make your user a part of the audio group and you will have access to 
your FireWire devices.

sudo adduser paco audio

if your user name is paco.....




this procedure worked for me when I was getting similar errors 
connecting my Mackie Onyx mixer firewire card.
