Very wierd, started to do simple diagnostics, ie unplug everything reboot, plug in one at a time and see what comes up, after second reboot my Maxtor 1T ( time machine disk) is showing up fine on 800 FW, but my mybook 500 ( movies and itunes) only works on FW400. I cannot repair permissions on either disk as it says " not available as disk set to ignore ownership", but I have run repair permissions on main HD and "repair" disk on both externals, it is saying 57 mins remaining on repair permissions for main HD, so I must away to my day job, will reply later with what I find.

I updated using the Combo 10.6.2 yesterday and did my normal backup to two external Firewire Drives last night without any problems. In System Profiler are the Firewire Ports showing? Did you repair permissions after updating?
