At first sight your setup looks good. However you are the first one that 
reports the use of an expresscard interface. I would doubt that the 
problem lies there however, since AFAIK an expresscard is connected 
directly to the pci-express bus (no bridges).

Can you try running jack with another samplerate (44100)?

Can you try the following procedure:
- power up the firebox
- start jack
- after the jack crash, unplug the firewire cable (not the power to the 
firebox)
- reconnect the firewire cable
- try again to start jack (with the same settings)
