You say the other proggies work fine, but they don't really use the 
libdc1394 library which pwlib needs for your camera. Could you try coriander 
and see if it detects your camera? And to go back to debugging your problem: 
What is your firewire configuration? What I mean to ask is: How many devices 
do you have on your firewire bus? How many firewire cards? Actually could 
just run the program "romtest" that can be found in the "test" subdirectory 
from the libavc1394 tarball? You wouldn't need to install the library, a 
mere compilation would be enough.
