As I get it you're hooking a hw-jtag-debugger (Lauterbach) to the 
20pin-post-connector of debug-board to access FR. This connector is not 
designed to adapt an external jtag-debugger to FR, instead it's supposed 
usage is to connect other jtag-targets to debug board and use the jtag<->USB 
gate on debug board to run a jtag-sw-debugger controlling either the FR or 
any of those other jtag-target-devices connected via 20-post.
Your connection might fail due to USB-chip creating undefined load on the 
jtag-lines from Lauterbach to FR.

Hope I got it right when trying to understand what you intended to do.
cheers
