I know practically nothing about how your device works, so this is just a
guess.  It seems likely that the IEEE1394-USB/ATA interface controller
translates the commands it receives over the external bus into a sequence
of ATA or ATAPI commands that is somewhat different from the sequence of
commands Linux would use if the drive were directly attached to an IDE
controller.  As a result, perhaps the drive sends those "not ready"  
replies when you use it over an external bus but not when you use attach
it over ATA.

Or maybe not...  Maybe the drive _does_ send those "not ready" messages 
and the IDE driver ignores them instead of printing them in the system 
log.  Or perhaps those messages are sent by the bus interface controller 
and not by the drive itself.  I just don't know.
