I know this is an old post, but heres how I solved this problem for future readers:

I too got an error code -600 a few times in launching FCP 5.1.4. Heres what I did, and now works fine.

1. Had to force shut down.
2. Repair disk permissions on the local drive (OSX 10.4)
3. Launched the Final Cut project, and still had problems-audio was in the files, the meters were moving but was not playing out the Kona card.
4. Ive had this problem on occasion, where audio will be distorted or not playing through the AJA Kona card-this usually works, but is probably not recommended by the AJA people:
bring up bars and tone, and loop it to play (I do this because I have to get to the back of the G5, and want something to be playing through) and I reseat the connector from the breakout box to the G5 while tone is playing. Its the big black cable, and my theory is the weight of the cable-even though its supported properly, over time sags and creates io problems. It works! I have not done this successfully when there is no signal passing through the io card, I can only do it when the signal/tone is playing. Maybe it resets the card, I dont know why exactly- but it works.
