Well in this case it's not me setting anything (yet) - this failure is happening on the XML exported from FCP. Before writing any code I wanted a "template" for what the XML should look like, but even FCP can't get the XML to work!

The XML Error Log reports "<file>: Unable to attach specified media file to new clip." and the imported clip shows only the tracks for the first audio file.
