Solution found thanks to JCBond (on another forum.)
in the source browser, need to enable 'view folders as media volumes.' This seems to effect the AMA even if you're using alt-drag instead of the source browser. Then, MC auto-selected the correct plug-in. Makes sense, but convoluted.

I went to the ama plugin folder and played with pulling out the mxf plug in as well as make a back up copy of the ama plugins after the reinstall. No matter what I have done it seems to disappear from the list after about a week

WTF? The laptop correctly connects the spanned clips and the AMA is 'MVP_MSP_CanonMXF' but the workstation doesn't see the spanned clips, and calls the EXACT SAME FILES MXF - not CanonMXF.
