[Avid-L2] Avid vs FCP P2 issues

hello all
i've got a sticky problem that is driving me nuts. i have some P2
media delivered on a USB pocket drive that i'm trying to import into
my Avid ( Nitris DX on a Intel Mac running MC 4 ) and i am having
issues with one spanned clip that won't import. i've tried using both
the AMA and P2 workflows, and that one clip just comes up as offline,
though a couple of attempts got me the back half of the span with the
beginning offline. when i try the same file in FCP, it sees this file
fine, and plays it fine in Log & Transfer. oddly, when imported into
FCP it exhibits interlacing issues (when stepping through the clip i
get three good frames, then two bad interlaced frames, etc.) another
oddity: FCP sees the files as DVCProHD 1080p 29.97 1280x1080, and when
i import into the Avid it thinks they are DVCPro HD 1080i 60. this
happens with the files i import directly from the P2 drive into the
Avid. i tried importing the recalcitrant spanned file into FCP and
then exporting it as an Avid DNxHD 145 at 1080i 60, but i got the same
bad interlacing issues. however, when i did get a chunk of the spanned
file into the Avid (briefly) with the P2 workflow it looked fine. of
course, this one file is most crucial, and the whole mess has lost me
two days.
