I did figure out the file not found issue: I was missing the /dev/raw1394 node It turns out my 6200 is brand new (from comcast, just picked it up last week) and not supported by the 6200ch in contrib after hacking it a bit to add my vendor_id & model_id, I think I found:: vendor_id = 0x000011d8 model_id = 0x00000000 spec_id = 0x0000005e software version = 0x00000001 If the code in 0.18.1 is the same/similar I'd expect a similar problem?
