udev 097-1 does not create the /dev/raw1394 device required for libraw1394 to work. /dev/raw/raw1394 is created instead. As "/dev/raw1394" is hardcoded in libraw1394, a symlink to /dev/raw/raw1394 should probably be created in /dev. In udev 096-1, only a /dev/raw1394 device was created.
This task depends upon

would you please try this udev.rules file?
   udev.rules (17.3 KiB)

That seems to work the "096 way" -- it creates /dev/raw1394, but no /dev/raw/raw1394. Does anything need/use /dev/raw/raw1394 (unfortunately I have no idea) or is the new path preferred?

When I asked about this on forums, lanrat suggested to add a separate rules file with:
KERNEL=="raw1394", SYMLINK+="%k"
This left the /dev/raw/raw1394 in place and created a symlink to it in /dev/raw1394. libraw1394 worked fine.

no i think it was just an error in rules file, other distros add the %k parameter too, i just missed it.
seems 096 is bugged that is misiniterprets the rule
