I have had similar problems with MacDrive. There's no problem moving
files on the desktop, but from within Media Composer, it sometimes
doesn't like writing to the databases, which makes keeping the Avid
MediaFiles on those drives difficult.

I email him my backed up copy of the project and that opens fine but none of the media is linked and the Mac isn't seeing the Media on the 3Tb. Ok, trash the databases and rebuild except Avid then wants to quarantine all of the MXF mediafiles.

I verified the 3Tb drive on my Mac laptop and it said it was perfect, but I can only think that there was some weird Mac/PC file structure mismatch thing going on which I have never come across before.
