This does indeed look like a bug in libraw1394 to me. According to the
documentation, _new_handle() should fail in case of permissions problems, with
errno set accordingly, but that doesn't seem to happen here. And I don't really
see how/where else one would check for an error.

You could check out with strace gst-launch-0.10 ... what's happening under the
hood, maybe that shows something interesting.
