EDL import problem at DVinfo.net

hope this isn't complicated:

I have this $25000 paper weight of an editing system called, Discreet *edit. It has some old projects on it, that I want to work on, so I copied the video files over to CS3 Premiere, and they play fine. I had to change the timecode on each file clip, to preserve the original timecodes. I also changed the reel for each clip to for the same reason.

Next, I imported a CMX3600 EDL, and CS3 Priemere created a new bin and timeline, with the clip icons, but the icons are not linked to the video files.

How can I resolve this? Can't Premiere search through the timecoded files that are loaded into the project?

Cheers,

Sterling
