How to transfer footage from P2 to FCS 2?

I have just graduated from the FIreStore-100 and using P2 cards.

I was able to connect the camera to the computer via firewire.
I clicked on LOG AND TRANSFER, which enabled me to view and play my clips, then ADD SELECTION to QUEUE.
I saw the progress bar move as it appeared to be downloading the clips to the designated folder on my hard drive, much like
the Fire-Store experience.

I was then able to see the file in my bin. I was also able to click on it to see it play in the browser.
BUT all of a sudden the red diagonal like strikes through it and the media goes OFF LINE.
I cannot find the clip anywhere on my computer.

Did I actually download anything?
Am I following the right steps?
How do I import the clips into FCP Studio 2?
 
Offload the P2 cards to 2 hard drives. Keep them as your Camera Masters. Use the hard drive to Log & Transfer.
