When I have a problem with nails bedning from hard wood, I drill pilot holes about half the diameter of the nail.

The 2 ft by 3 ft hole in the floor is now repaired. I was over thinking the
whole problem and just needed to get in and do it. Only two difficult
spots. The first was fitting the little support "joists" in the hole,
simply because the existing framing boards I attached them to weren't plumb
from top to bottom. Meant a little more cutting to get the new boards to
fit, but they're in and secure. The other difficulty came when nailing up
the joist support straps for the center support board. The old wood joists
to which they're nailed is SO hard/dense that my 10d nails kept bending. I
did, however, finally get them all secured.
