Lou - we've been using GoFlex for Mac, 2TB (both the silver & the black ones) for some of our "remote" based projects and have NOT had only so-so luck with them. It's ironic because I have just now returned from my local Apple store where I just picked up a Hitachi G-Tech 2TB drive, as we are experiencing very similar issues with a GoFlex for Mac, 2TB (silver color) using the same specs as you, FW 800.
FWIW, the 'silver' ones seem FAR MORE problematic than the BLACK ones do.
Sorry I can't offer any more specific info, just know you're not alone with the Seagate GoFlex dive issues. I've also seen posts here on the L that basically say the same thing - avoid the Seagate GoFlex drives whenever possible.
Good Luck,
Dave B
