Just wanted to wrap up this conversation.
I ended up bringing the source footage to our other editing room, which has Media Composer 5.5 and using XDCAM Clip Browser to create a new BPAV folder. I created a new user setting, was able to link to these clips via AMA and transcode. Thanks for your suggestions.

I have tried copying the footage from a difference source drive; tried exporting a MXF for NLE in Browser & importing into MC; recreate the BPAV folder using the Browser Import; directly importing the mp4 file. MC crashed each time, giving me an "Assertion Failed FALSE" error. A quick search said to delete the msm database files. That didn't help either.
