32 khz capture/import issue
In advance forgive the convoluted-sounding work flow, but this is how it needs to be:

What version of Quicktime are you using to capture with? One of the major changes with QT7 is the audio channel mapping which FCP 3, running an older version of QT will have trouble with.

32khz on DV means four channels. It is likely that the old version of QT can’t read the audio correctly on a four channel QT file. In the bad old days QT was stereo only. I still suspect it is a QT incompatibility problem. Maybe if you capture the 32khz tapes selecting only stereo audio (ie turn off the other tracks.)
A quick test file may see if this is so.
