dvgrab and kino error "rom1394_0 warning: read failed..."

[Lance W. <la...@se...>]

  I'd really appreciate any kind of pointer to help me get past
the current problem I'm having trying to get dv in from my
Sony camcorder.

I've followed all the instructions and looked through the FAQ,
gscanbus reports that all is well and controls my camera,
but am stuck with the fopllogin error when it comes to using
the application dvgrab and kino:

rom1394_0 warning: read failed: 0x0000fffff0000414
rom1394_0 error: invalid root directory length

The only anomoly that I can find is that dmesg does not report
ieee1394:including selfid 0x...." as mentioned in linux1394's
getting started section.  However, it does report many other
'positive' information about the card (below).

I've got stock RedHat 7.2 with:

Any pointers really appreciated.  Thanks,  -Lance.
