A while ago Debian kernel were defaulting to the new IEEE1394 stack,
which in my experience simply doesn't work :-( .
Since I roll my kernel I don't know if it's still the case, if so you'll
probably have to recompile the kernel to do anything useful with firewire.
I checked it seems to still be true:
Stock kernel
egrep -i ieee1394 /boot/config-2.6.28-1-amd64
# CONFIG_IEEE1394 is not set
egrep -i firewire /boot/config-2.6.28-1-amd64
# IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support
CONFIG_FIREWIRE=m
CONFIG_FIREWIRE_OHCI=m
CONFIG_FIREWIRE_OHCI_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_FIREWIRE_SBP2=m
# CONFIG_FIREWIRE_OHCI_REMOTE_DMA is not set
My "working" kernel:
egrep -i ieee1394 /boot/config-$(uname -r)
CONFIG_IEEE1394=m
CONFIG_IEEE1394_OHCI1394=m
# CONFIG_IEEE1394_PCILYNX is not set
CONFIG_IEEE1394_SBP2=m
CONFIG_IEEE1394_SBP2_PHYS_DMA=y
CONFIG_IEEE1394_ETH1394_ROM_ENTRY=y
CONFIG_IEEE1394_ETH1394=m
CONFIG_IEEE1394_RAWIO=m
CONFIG_IEEE1394_VIDEO1394=m
# CONFIG_IEEE1394_DV1394 is not set
# CONFIG_IEEE1394_VERBOSEDEBUG is not set
egrep -i firewire /boot/config-$(uname -r)
# IEEE 1394 (FireWire) support
# CONFIG_FIREWIRE is not set
So if it still doesn't work, you might want to look there.
