trouble importing Sony XDCAM files

I've already loaded the plug-in for FCP Version 6.03 or later onto my OSX 10.5.8. Mac, but am still having difficulties loading the BPAV files stored on a portable drive using log and transfer. I get a message that says "unsupportable media," etc., etc. What am I missing here? Thanks.

Do you have the Sony SxS drivers as well? You'll need them if you want to come off card.

Has anyone changed the file structure of the cards on the drive as they were originally? You can't rename or discard anything these days. Not even folders or files that seem completely useless.

I was unable to get the drivers off Sony's website, despite trying on multiple computers with 2 browsers (any idea why?). Anyway, I took them off someone else's computer and solved my problem. Now I've got a new one -- see top!
