Hmmm, is there a debian package that includes the KDE development admin
directory? Since kdenlive uses this to generate the config files, if one
exists replace the admin directory with it and see if that helps. You will
need to do :

make -f admin/Makefile.common
./configure (... any necessary options ...)
make

once you replace it, let me know if it works.

I have a feeling that kdenlive 0.2 is slightly incompatable with
piave 0.2.2 - try kdenlive 0.2.0 with piave 0.2.0, or try kdenlive CVS with 
piave 0.2.2 or piave cvs - it's quite stable at the moment and is
much better :-)
