DVGRAB - Firewire Samsung VP-D590i DV camera not detected

Hi all guys,
I have a problem with my Firewire Samsung VP-D590i DV camera.
Using dvgrab my camera where not detected.

I tried with Kubuntu official repository version (3.1-2)

dpkg-query -l dvgrab
[...]
ii dvgrab 3.1-2 grab digital video data via IEEE1394 and USB links
merlos@alligatore:~$

and compiling last dvgrab version by myself (version 3.3), but the result
don't change.

Follow some debug output on kernel side ( Kubuntu 8.10 with 2.6.27-9 kernel)

merlos@alligatore:~$ uname -a
Linux alligatore 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686
GNU/Linux
merlos@alligatore:~$

When I plug and power on my camera I see the following in syslog

merlos@alligatore:/home/merlos$ tail -f /var/log/syslog
Jan 11 10:48:20 alligatore kernel: [ 1919.159874] ieee1394: Node added:

unsupported and may be removed in a future Linux release. Use raw1394
instead.

I' pretty sure (?) that last log line can be ignored, is not a problem; the
CRC error can be ignored too.

This means that the kernel recognized th deice; in /sys filesystem I have
the right new entry for the firewire camera

An lspci confirm that the device is alive to the kernel (06:01.0 addr)

I tried to use dvgrab to import from my camera using the interactive and non
interactive method

dvgrab --format raw -i Output

merlos@alligatore:~/kdenlive-0.7.1/src$ dvgrab --format raw -i Output
send oops
send oops
send oops
Error: no camera exists

dvgrab won't discover my camera :(

Then I did the following

dvgrab --guid 0000f0000a2814f5 --format raw -i DVFileName

forcing dvgrab using the node with specified hex GUID (from syslog) and yes
now I can use my camera

merlos@alligatore:~/kdenlive-0.7.1/src$ dvgrab --guid 0000f0000a2814f5
--format raw -i Output
send oops

Forcing GUID, I have the .dv files I expect :)

So in conclusion I think the problem is related to dvgrab that don't
recognize my camera; in fact supported camera where recognized automatically
without using the --guid switch (I looked at some output of working camera).
This is a problem because kino and kdenlive don't detect the camera.

Hope someone can help me, tks
