[LAU] sysex on arch

Hi

I need to do backup of some hardware synths on my arch system. I first
tried simplesysexxer, but it doesn't seem to receive anything (actually
the very first time I tried, "something" happened, but since then it's
been dead). So I looked at amidi, but "amidi -l" fails like this:

atte@email-addr-hidden:~$ amidi -l
Dir Device Name
cannot determine device number: Inappropriate ioctl for device

It seems that there might be something wrong on my system, or?

I should note that my physical midiin is located on my edirol (FA66)
firewire audio interface, and I use a2jmidid to bridge between alsa-midi
and jack-midi. I tested with gmidimonitor and messages are indeed
floating into the system.

Any help appreciated!
