P2 transfer to MBP via FireWire on a 370?

My TV station just got a load of 370's in and we are in the process of setting up some workflows.

My question is.... is it possible to connect a 370 directly to a MBP via FireWire and use "Log and Transfer" to import into Final Cut Pro? Or can you only use USB?

I can't seem to get the MBP to recognize the P2 cards in the 370 as a drive over FireWire. I can capture from the 370 (both live video and playback) but it can't see the cards as drives.

I can connect an HPX170 to the MBP using PC Mode and FireWire and have it mount as a drive. I can also use the PCD2 over USB and have the cards mount. I just don't know if I'm missing a setting on the 370 that allows card mounting, of if it's even possible.

SD video with a new-ish MBP with FCP6... will be used for in-the-field editing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Yes the card transfer to FCP via log and transfer is via USB only, the firewire is there for direct output to a capture device but only up to DVCPro HD.

USB is around the same speed as firewire 400 so there would be no time advantage and as USB is more widely available I think that is why they went for that option for data transfer.
