Can you post the output of "dmesg" in dom0?  There should be messages in there 
about the PCI backend grabbing that device...

Try taking the dmesg after you've tried to manually bind the device to see if 
that generated any messages.

A thought...  is it possible your pciback is compiled as a module?  If it is, 
it probably can't "steal" the devices you've requested it to hide.  In this 
case, you'll need to manually "unbind" the devices from their current 
drivers...

Do an ls -l "/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1d.1"

There's probably a symlink in there called "driver", right?

If you do an

echo -n "0000:00:1d.1" > "/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1d.1/driver/unbind"

Does that succeed?  Are you able to manually add the device to pciback now?

Hope that helps,
