Thanks for this.  In this output we see

The "User IDs" section shows that you're now in the audio group.  We will
confirm the effect of this later, but it should eliminate the memory lock
and realtime scheduling failures when running jackd and give that a much
better chance of working.

We note, however, that the only /dev/fw* device mentioned is /dev/fw0.  This
is your firewire card.  The lack of a /dev/fw1 indicates that for some
reason your system is not seeing the FA-66.

Could you please run 

  dmesg | grep fire

and post the result?  This should show kernel messages related to the
firewire bus; in particular, whether the bus is seeing something and just
unable to work with it, or if it's completely blind to the bus devices.

What error do you get when using the other option?  What happens if you run

  touch /tmp/foo

Does this give an error too?  If so, what is it?  If it gives an error, what
is the output of

  ls -ld /tmp
