I too have the same issue. I created a PSD file with simple layers in PS 7 on a PC. Then imported the file into FCP HD 4.5. Once in the bin the PSD file showed as a still file, not a sequence. Placed it in the timeline, still shows up as a still. double clicked it and it only opened up in the viewer. No new sequence. I realize that FCP does not recognize anything above 3.0 layer options so I created a very simple test file and it remained a flattened image. If there is a solution I would be very thankful.
I have read that there might be a conflict between creating it on a PC. I cannot test because I do not have PS on my Mac.

I have the same problem with PS for mac.

I have tried this with the same flat results. My pc with ps and p.pro 1.5 will do it. We must be doing something wrong. Please, any help would be appriciated.

From FCP for Dummies:
"When you import a Photoshop PSD file, Final Cut Pro imports the file, not as a single image clip but, rather, as an entire Timeline sequence. (A sequence is the Final Cut Pro way of organizing a group of clips...) In the sequence, Final Cut Pro places each Photoshop layer on its own track (track V1, track V2, and so on). Final Cut Pro also perserves the order of your Photoshop file layers by assigning the background layer to the sequence's first video track (V1) and ordering every other layer as you did in your Photoshop file. For instance, you fifth layer, including the background, would be on the V5 track"
Are you importing your Photoshop file as a PSD?
EDIT: Sorry, Adelante, I got carried away and forgot your post...
