I don't use CentOS on workstations and laptops, only on servers. :-)

Sounds like the FireWire stack (kernel + libraries) in CentOS is 
seriously broken. In the past, I used to have minor issues with FireWire 
under old Fedora versions (like, FC3 or so), but all that stuff could be 
fixed by manually loading a module or creating a /dev node. Looks like 
that's not the case on CentOS. :-(

Under these circumstances, I would avoid using CentOS on systems where I 
need to transfer video over FireWire, and it all needs to function 
without headaches.

It may start working with a different kernel and/or a different libraw1394.

But honestly, I have no real clue. Sorry. :-/
