Hi-
Thanks Helena,
Adding the extension .mov to the <file><name> has helped.
Also - the files on disk did not have the right extension, so we have
renamed these *.mov as well.
Now the XML appears to import fine, and reconnect properly.
Regards
Jeremy Smith

Hi Peter!
It sounded familiar so I had to spend some time searching through my
brain...
You might be encountering a limitation in reconnect where Final Cut Pro
needs file extensions on the pathurls it resolves. If no pathurl is
specified in the XML, the file will be brought in offline so, FCP will
look for the extension on the <name> of the <file>. If there is no
extension specified, it can't reconnect the clips in group.
If specifying the file extension in the <file><name> doesn't resolve
your issue please write up a bug on bugreporter.apple.com and attach or
paste in the XML that is exhibiting the problem. (and let me know so I
can peek at the XML)
Thanks!
Helena
