Once again ... FCP is at war with my XDCAM at DVinfo.net

Things were working beautifully, until today. Now my XDCAM Transfer software is not reading the proxies and gives me "Failed to convert the proxy at 'C0001.MXF' (-43)". It still shows the in/out, duration and the MXF file number, but there's no thumbnail. I can still import the full size clip but the proxies are not viewable and can't be shortened into subclips for import ... BUT most importantly, I can't import all the proxies, edit the project, then import the full res. What happened? I re-installed FCP and the xfer software, but no avail.

Did you install anything else? I found I was having a conflict with 3IVX version 4.5.1. When I installed it, no proxy thumbnails and import took a looooong time and my processor was pegging out. Removed that software and all was good. Unfortunately, it wasn't until I had re-installed OSX and FCP, then started re-installing third party apps that I found the problem.

Nothing else, and I'm only using FCP Studio, the XDCAM Transfer software and the regular OSX bundle and regular Apple software updates.
