Make sure you’re using a blacked tape, and try Edit to Tape. Do you get an external video signal through firewire any other time?
But if my JVC deck is anything to go by, you’re going to have problems:

I have had no end of problems with every JVC product I have bought in the last 2 years. I don’t wanna be negative, but I gave up on trying to get my deck to talk tc via firewire with FCP a while ago.
On a good day I am happy if I manually press record and play on FCP and it works.
I hope that someone else here at the COW can shed some light on the subject, as it will spare you a helluva lot of headache (might even make me feel better about JVC!)
Good Luck!
