CRIMSON'S Roundtrip XML buggy - PLEASE HELP

I am editing a three minute music video and I am having a world of trouble going from my _m proxies to the 720p footage I would like to end on.

I follow the Crimson directions verbatim. Everything seems to be going fine. That is, until I import the roundtrip XML.

The footage DOES load. However, there seems to be a one frame gap in between almost every cut I made (not every cut, but ALMOST every cut).

It seems that redcine processed the footage correctly, as every clip in my timeline seems to have an extra frame that has been cut out. Hence I could manually lengthen every clip/cut so that it fits together again.

Like wise, there are several sequences that consist of about 10-30 one-frame cuts in a row. These sequences do not load in the roundtrip XML, leaving me with gaps of empty space in the timeline.

Lastly, the XML causes the scale of many of my clips to go bezerk. The source footage is the correct aspect ratio, so I can manually change the scale to 100 (Rather than, say 256). Why is it doing this?

The source footage is both 3k and 4k, and mixed within the timeline. I would say RedCine might be the culprit, but it seems that Crimson does correctly load the clips into RedCine, and they are correctly exported. They just don't seem to make it back into FCP.

PLEASE HELP! Any tips/advice would be GREATLY APPRECIATED! Thanks a ton,
