>But now that I've set it to DVCPRO 1080i60 (which I assume is correct),
You should be on an HDV setting. You can also try using the "firewire basic" preset, since you're working on a Canon...

Nope. As standard procedures goes, double check that timecode is accurate, and check clip properties to make sure the settings are right.

>What other settings or diagnostics could I be overlooking?
Sounds like a camera setting you're missing. Just to double check, you have the HDV log and capture window open (it looks different from a normal log and capture window)..
Sorry I don't have a Canon camera, but this could be helpful:

>the readout for the HD connection display grays out when the fire wire is connected;
>relights when it's not.
Sounds like what the link I referred you to described. I haven't worked with HDV for a few months, so I'm a little fuzzy on it, but from what I can remember, you can do a batch capture on it.

Playback STD is 'blacked out' anytime a cable is in the HV30's HDV/DV terminal. Page 42 of the manual: "The DV output cannot be changed while a DV cable is connected to the HDV/DV terminal." Remove the cable and Playback STD becomes active again.
So, first make sure you're in the correct record mode: In the REC/IN SETUP menu, choose the video standard: HDV, HDV(PF24), HDV(PF30), DV(WIDE) or DV(NORMAL)
Next, in the PLAY/OUT SETUP1 menu in the PLAYBACK STD window (when the HV30 doesn't have a firewire cable connected to it) there are three choices: AUTO, HDV and DV. If you've made both HDV and DV recordings on the same tape, the AUTO setting automatically switches playback from one format to the other. In the HDV or DV setting, only recordings made in the selected mode will play back.
In the PLAY/OUT SETUP2 menu check to ensure 'HDV/DV' is selected. If 'DV DV LOCKED' is selected, everything recorded in HDV will be output as DV.
Finally, as I mentioned in the earlier post, use the FCP Easy Setup to match the HV30's output. If you set 'HDV' in the REC/IN SETUP menu, and 'Auto' and 'HDV/DV' in the PLAY/OUT SETUP1 and 2 menus, then the FCP Easy Setup would be 'HDV-1080i60' Firewire Basic'
A couple other reasons why the HV30 or any digital camcorder won't communicate with a video editing program: The camcorder is in the Record mode rather than the Play mode, or, could be a bad firewire cable.

The general troubleshooting point to note in capturing firewire signals, is that you're able to get a signal at all. It shows that the port is working.
