  For a quick check that it's working run jarckd as
root:

 $ sudo jackd -d firewire OK
...
  Setting permissions on the /dev/fw* files will only
work temporarily.
 When you unplug and replug your device the file(s) will be re-created
 with the default (root) permissions. You need to create a udev rule. OK
...
  Here is the file that I created:

 $ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/60-firewire.rules
 KERNEL=="fw*", GROUP="audio", MODE="0664" 
- is the prefix number in the filename '60-firewire.rules' related to 
some aspect of the firewire setup?
     - or is "60" an arbitrary number?
- can I make the GROUP="kim" -- I'm not using "audio" group

...
  This will cause the fw* files to be created with audio
as group, and the
 right permissions. Obviously you also need your user to be a member of
 audio.
 at some point I plan on setting up a separate account for audio only 
(disabling PulseAudio) and making an audio group
but given the time soak I've experienced with just upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10
I can't spend more time in tweak mode due to looming project deadlines
