Clip Browser puzzle at DVinfo.net

I shot an interview a couple of weeks ago and I copied it through Clip Browser to an archive drive (from my card). I then transferred the clip through XDCAM Transfer to my edit drive. I've been editing the interview without any problem. I just now upgraded the operating system to 10.5.3 and - coincidentally or not - the original BPAV clip on the archive drive is not recognizable by either Clip Browser or XDCAM Transfer. The clip has an X on it and nothing else. I've since backed up (again) the clip I had transferred the other week so I have the file. The BPAV folder is still there and indicates it is the same file size. I just can't access it. Has anyone else run into anything like this? i've checked all my other files and they're fine.

Thanks.

Version of Clip Browser and Transfer Tool?

Transfer tool is now at version 2.7.
ClipBrowser is still 1.0.1 on Mac though.

One reason why I don't like archiving to a hard drive is that files can still be altered.

I'm on 10.5.3 and ClipBrowser and Transfer Tool both still access the BPAV clips I have on my hard drive. Everything gets backed up to DL-DVD though.

I'm at 1.0 on ClipBrowser & 2.7 on XDCAM Transfer. I'll update ClipBrowser, but I'm not sure it'll make much difference.

The files weren't altered at first - which is why I could make the transfer. It only changed over time. Weird.

Thanks.
