So in digging through, it seems that the /dev/raw1394 device is no
longer present; this device is from the raw1394 module, which is part of
the "old" firewire stack, not the new "juju" stack. Doing an strace on
dvsource-firewire sees it try to access /dev/raw1394, so I suspect that
the old stack has been pulled, and dvsource doesn't support the new
stack. I'll find out....
