"Unable to locate timecode" from XL2

Hi all, my first post and its a granular one (sorry).

I am trying to capture footage on my new Mac G5 using Final Cut Pro. I use a 'time of day' timecode on my Canon XL2 as I often shoot with more than one camera. This means every time I start and stop recording on the camera, the timecode jumps forward in time.

Long story short - every time I try to capture using FCP (whether it be logging clips immediately or batch capture) FCP states "unable to locate timecode".

I have no idea what is going on and appreciate any helps. Thanks in anticipation.
 
With FCP it's usually best not to break timecode, even for time of day.
Trun off the auto-stop in the prefs to ignore the breaks or to auto-split it into shots.
If necessary you can set it to be a non-controlled source.
