Yeah I have FireWire (see my other replies on that).

I've disabled the FW (1394) when I was testing for this issue 
(didn't fix the problem), and I didn't think of trying to 
delete the file then.  I haven't tried what Wally suggested 
yet, and I will along with what you suggest.
Thanks,
-Clint

Clint, do you have firewire on your computer?

I have variations of this file on windows, linux, and mac as it 
is the
driver for the 1394 protocol. It could be generated by the 
1395bus or
sdbinst files.

Remove firewire from your computer altogether and see what 
happens.
