Like Phil says, it is probably related to the bandwidth available through the chain of hubs you are using. (There are usually hubs WITHIN the computer as well as external). Interesting, though. I do use an external powered hub which works fine (but using a Windows PC).
Anyway, I'm glad you got it going.

Mark, believe it or not, I tried it on a powered hub and it doesn't work, but it works just fine directly in the USB 3.0 port.

I find all the dongles, including FCDPP, to work best with external powered USB hubs. When in doubt, try that. Too many flakey results otherwise.
