Duncan:
With the camcorder attached and switched on, please save the output of "dmesg" into a file and attach it. Also, post the output of
        ls /sys/bus/ieee1394/devices/
and
        grep . /sys/bus/ieee1394/devices/fw-host0/*

Furthermore, does Ubuntu's libraw1394 package maintainer listen here? There have been modified versions of libraw1394 v1 out there which only work with the new firewire kernel drivers but not with raw1394. I hear that Debian is somewhere in the transition from the ieee1394 drivers to the firewire drivers, and in the worst case, you might have gotten an unsuitable libraw1394 version from your upstream. Make sure that you have either a libraw1394 v1 which still works with raw1394, or libraw1394 v2 which transparently works with either driver stack.
