Another distributor is sponsoring driver development. As one of its outcomes, there is a more satisfying solution to the issue of device file permissions and ownership; see comment 43. I hear a developer is currently making good progress on some of the notable remaining issues of the new drivers.
Until then, I recommend to you to use the mainline udev rules for the 1394 drivers as per comment 44.
