24pA field dominance?

I'm a bit confused as to how to capture 24pA. I used the preset in FCP for 2:3:3:2 advanced pulldown removal for capturing my 24pA video. However, when I log a clip I, find that before capturing (offline) it says that it has a LOWER field dominance! Isn't this progressive scan material, so it should be none? Then when I try to capture this lower field dominance footage, I get the following message:

Any ideas? I was able to capture SOME of my material using capture now. (once captured it has field dominance set to "none" and pull-down has been removed)
I have been fighting this issue for some time now. Sometimes I have the issue, sometimes not. I didn't have it when I used my DVX to capture, could it be my capture camera??? (optura 100mc)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 
Arr..the problem went away when I went back to FCP 5.0, but I can't open my old project file. So I upgrade to 5.1.4 again and I get the problem! Is this a bug in 5.1.4? Is there anything I can do to get around it? Can I capture as just DV-NTSC and do cinema tools???
