Can't export to tape from my Canon XH-A1 with CS4

[jthabel]

I've seen this problem bounced around on various forums. Some people say they can get it to work, others can't. My problem: I'm trying to export to tape from CS4. The camera (Canon XH-A1S) has been detected, I choose export to tape, the "render and record" starts, and then when the rendering has completed and the recording starts, the camera registers an error that says "check your HDV/DV IN connection", and the camera stops recording before it even starts. Meanwhile, premiere is still apparently outputting the data, seemingly unaware of any kind of problem. Any help here would be appreciated!
