Maybe your Mybook has a faulty firewire controller or a bad cable? Have you tried it on a different machine?
It is a known fault with them mate, I can get it to see it sometimes, but it is very hit and miss so I dont bother with it.

I noticed a software update when I was having my breakfast this morning so I will try that later on but to be fair, the USB is quick enough after the initial 200gb back up
