XDCAM Transfer acting strange - Cards don't show

Hi

I have been using XDCAM transfer for a couple of months now with no issues. I recently started importing some footage without audio by checking "Only Import Monitored Audio Channels" and not checking any channels. I did that once with no issues. The second time one card imported fine (Hoodman adapter / RAW card), and one still imported with audio, even after trying 3 times. The 3rd time only the hoodman showed up in Transfer, and my finder. So I swapped cards (8gig SxS and Hoodman) and all was fine, and the SxS footage imported w/no audio as I wanted.

Now today the hoodman only showed up, and the audio imported even though I unchecked the tracks etc. Then I shut down Transfer, removed the Hoodman card (slot 2), restarted everything, and the SxS showed up, and imported with no audio (as intended).

It's really odd and not exactly predictable. I can't tell if its the camera or Transfer that's having issues. Though only one card is showing up in Finder when I connect USB with the Camera.

Any thoughts?
 
Can anyone even confirm that they have never had any of these issues? If it's just me then maybe it's my camera. Or my computer. Or my software. I have no idea.
