Lou,
Put your sequence in a bin on it's own. Show the reference clips. Give the reference clips a disk label or tape id based on the roll number of the clips. Maybe they already have a tape name attached?
Load up your corresponding AMA files in another bin and give the clips the exact same disk label/tape ID that you have given the reference clips.
Check all the timecodes match, if they don't they won't relink. As long as the duration is the same you can change the start tc of the reference clips to match the ama clips.
Select all the ama clips in the bin. Select just your sequence. Right click your sequence and choose "relink to selected items in all open bins" and choose to relink by start tc and disk label or tape id (depending on what you have given the clips).
Place a tick in the "ignore extension" tickbox and then place a "." (period) in the box below it. I normally choose "any HD format" to give myself the best chance of relinking as if you have i material and p material Avid will ignore one or the other depending on the project type you are in. If you have a mixture of sd and hd then choose Any.
Hit relink. Your sequence should come back online. Consolidate or transcode it to your media storage.
If you are using material which does not have proper timecode eg. gopro, older 5D etc then be careful as Avid will give all those clips a 00:00:00:00 start timecode which can cause havok. If in doubt, alter tc's to be unique or alter disk label to be unique eg. roll number+clip name rather than just roll number.
As long as the frame rate, duration, start tc and one other column of metadata match, you will be able to relink any and everything to whatever you want, all the time.
