Okay, so there are a few things: 

1. I often have to run it as root because I don't have my /dev permissions set
up correctly for the firewire device. 
2. I use

sudo gst/bin/gst-launch -v dc1394 camera-number=0 buffer-size=10 ! xvimagesink
sync=false

The sync= is apparently necessary because of clock something something. 

3. Sometimes, if the camera isn't shut down properly, the firewire stack or
libdc1394 needs a reboot to come back on-line.

Also, the libdc1394 distribution has a reset_bus program in the examples
directory that can sometimes be of help. 

let me know if you have any more questions, or if that doesn't work.
