Coincidentally, I ran into this same issue last night.

There is already a bug report on this:
https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3609
and one of the comments links to a forum thread with a work-around:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2792

To create the missing device entry right away, you can run:
"sudo mknod -m 666 /dev/raw1394 c 171  0"
but the device entry will be gone when you reboot.
