It's not a Unix command line, it's a path to the directory that stores the master password. Are you comfortable using Terminal? If not, try formatting the Firewire drive using Disk Utility, then make sure the partition you put OS X on is the first partition (the top partition in the DU Window) on the drive. Before you clone with CCC, make sure you go to preferences and make sure the verify file system consistency for source and target disks, repair permissions before cloning and make bootable options are selected.
