Hi Jed,

Updating an existing Event isn't possible right now (not for lack of asking...)

<asset> is the right tag to use - it has the src attribute which has the file path to the media file. What happens if you select the drive with the media in the Event library before import? I've not seen FCPX duplicate source media before...
