Archiving P2 Footage

I have a few thousand clips spread over a few drives, many double and triple.
I want to delete those clips I have multiple but it is hard to find them.
So I wanted to open them up and put them all into groups.
I found 2 ways: 1. use FCP 7 "Log and transfer" and once in the bin, Batch export them as DVCPRO 720/24p.
This really takes a long time. Currently I am using Mountain Lion on the Mac, but I found a ver. of P2CMS which work.... open to view, but can not make the ingest work (I enabled it as a trial-the Ingest Button is not greyed out anymore-but I can not make it to start ingesting)
So I went back to Snow Leopard, there I have an other copy of P2CMS where I can open/ingest the media. It creates individual folders of each clip with an mxf file in. Again, I have to click, click and click to view the file.
Would I have an other option? Like transcode to DVCPRO in Final Cut, but a bit faster?

Nobody has responded to this yet?

I'd like to delete unused P2 clips and only keep certain ones.... how do you go about doing that off the HDD?
