Premiere Pro 2.0 and 24pA

I've posted this before I believe, but not in the same way. So my friend and I just edited an interview. He is running on a PC and I am on a Mac. He captures everything with Premiere Pro 2.0. We shoot in 24pA on the DVX100B's. He uses the 24p NTSC project preset and everything. Now here's the problem:

He brought over his footage so we can edit it with FCP. When I imported the files into FCP, they were reading as 29.97fps, as if the advance pulldown was never removed when he captured. I've checked all the settings he uses and I can't figure out why this is happening. I know it is a problem because I exported the interview out of FCP and my clips (captured with FCP and in 23.98fps) looked fine but his were blurry/not as good quality. I tried searching for an answer, but no definite answers.

So basically, what in the world can be wrong for Premiere to not remove the pulldown while capturing, or is it another problem? Also, to save having to re capture several tapes, what can be done to correct these clips? I believe Cinema Tools has an option for that, but anything he can do on his PC?
 
Pulldown is not removed when capturing. They're removed when they're loaded into the project. You can probably just tell FCP that the footage is 24pA and it'll remove them just fine.
 
How do I go about "telling" FCP that it's 24pA? The interview project is already done, but it'll be good to know for future reference.

Also, this was the problem I had a little while ago. His quicktime files don't play right. He compresses with the same exact settings I use with QT Pro (compressing the clips so we can upload them to the internet, so we're using the h.264 compression and what not), but his clips have ghosting frames in them, while mine have the typical 24pA look. It's as if his compressed 24pA footage is playing like regular 24p.
 
Whenever I removed the advance pulldown from those 29.97 clips (using Tool>remove advance pulldown) the media files go offline. I had a clip in my sequence already and removed the pulldown; the file went offline from the project bin, but the clips were still playing on the sequence. When I didn't have clips in the sequence and the file went offline, reconnecting them didn't work; it just went back to 29.97. I am kinda lost on what to do here. Sorry that this is more of a FCP section topic, but I rather not making another topic.
