I get those errors also and they have never caused any problems...


Here is how I run mine.. I place 6200ch in usr/bin/

My command line is /usr/bin/ 6200ch  -g 0xb81619fffe2805bd 13

g is your guid ,13 can be any valid channel number...

The one thing that gave me a fit when I first ran firewire was the 
vendor numbers.. Did you compile in the correct vendor numbers? If you 
didn't i can email mine to you at your gmail account.....
