I'll get back to you later, but:

1) Is the drive actually NTFS? (You use this with Windows I guess?)

2) Do you have modular ntfs drivers installed with the Planet kernel, or is
Fernando building in ntfs support now?  (If you do use ntfs, you'd better
mount this drive as read only for a while as I've heard that the ntfs driver
is not 100% reliable when doing a write operation.)

3) What revision of 1394 code is running in your kernel? How recent?

4) What do you see under /proc/bus/ieee1394, and what is the content of the
devices file?
