Erik,

Your make and make install looks good below.
Now run this

find /lib/modules/2.6.9-42.cc-i686/ -name pwc.ko

where you ought to see similar to mine (for the kernel
you are running 'uname -a'):

The new pwc driver
/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.*/kernel/drivers/usb/media/pwc.ko

The old stock pwc driver
/lib/modules/2.6.9-42.*/kernel/drivers/usb/media/pwc/pwc.ko

You need to copy the new one to the ./pwc dir as well.

Then do

rmmod pwc
modprobe pwc
lsmod | grep pwc

to unload the old if loaded, load the new, and check
if loaded and used by the video device as well.

You might also try the latest snapshot rather than the
release candidate:
