The advice of Jeffrey Walton to change the permission would be my first help too. fw1 indicates to be a FireWire device, so I'm out; never possessed one. But I stumble about the uncommon naming: usually it's fw0, not fw1. Do you have a second FireWire device already plugged in, or can the naming somehow else be explained (by slot number)? If not, I would suggest a reboot of the machine, because I assume a jam in the kernel then. But as said, no experience here. Maybe someone else can step in?
