OK. Do you have any other devices attached to your FireWire bus, such as an iSight? If so, disconnect everything but the drive and see if that works.
If not, it's quite possible that this file is, indeed, damaged. Since it's a system file, it's a bit harder to repair than others, because you can't just delete it. Do you, perhaps, have another computer you can copy it from?
