Are you sure it is attaching the device as sdc?  Nothing from those
messages would indicate that.  Looks like it is not the right device
being used.

Try sda instead.  (Or is something else using that one?)

Also make sure all the firewire modules are loading.  My Canopus card
sometimes has problems due to only half the drivers getting loaded.
