Cadence conundrum: Can't seem to pass through 2:3

(cross posted to Cow and "L"... I really need help!)

Here's the problem:

We have a documentary that needs a "film out". Original shot on DV 24p.

Editing was done @ 29.97 through out. Bumped up to HDCAM for color
correct... 2:3 cadence was still present. Had to make changes, so
redigitized the color corrected HDCAM master (1080i). Now, we can't
seem to retain the original 2:3 cadence. We're getting all kinds of
weirdness from 2224 to 2222. I'm totally confused.

We're on FCP 6.01 using a Kona 3 card to go out to an HDCAM SR deck.

All of the cadence settings in either FCP or the Kona, seem to indicate
a variety of cadence setting, but what I really want is to NOT change
anything. I just want to pass through what I have.

I would appreciate any insight into this problem. Thank you.

Solved it!

We went to a from a 1080 capture to a 720p timeline to do aspect ratio coversion. That worked well for video, but doing that destroyed the 3:2 cadence. When we checked the "unaltered" 4 x 3 version, the 3 :2 was OK. Lesson learned!
