I had udev set for debug earlier, lemme check the older log.

In logs reaching back 8 days while I messed with this, the string
"ieee1394: Host added: ID:BUS" never appears.

It just says denied, but selinux is set permissive, so thats just a 
report of what would be denied if it was fully enabled.

Its showing raw1394, the other choice is dvgrab, which doesn't...

  but asynchronously via

I'll put in the devel stuff and give it a shot.  And let the lists know.
