No, Kino requires /dev/raw1394. Check with "lsmod" that the raw1394 and the ohci1394 drivers are loaded, and check the file permissions (or access control list) of /dev/raw1394.

PS: As mentioned in my previous comment, alternative kernel drivers are in development which allow to implement a more flexible security policy, but I suppose these drivers are not enabled in Ubuntu 8.10 --- and they probably shouldn't because of immaturity. (The wiki which I mentioned in the other comment is now located at http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/.)
