What the Sony post means is that you are not using the latest version of the XDCAM Transfer tool. For some decimal-system-defying reason, the version after 2.9 was 2.10 and not 2.91 or 3.0.
Unfortunately, this does not solve the thumbnail problem (It is a bit weird that this only affects some machines. I’m wondering if it isn’t an obscure bug in a graphics card driver, or something).
I have just read on another forum that Sony have released an SxS driver for Snow Leopard, which is available here:
https://www.sony.ca/promedia/drivers.htm
The XDCAM Drive software for the PDW-U1 doesn’t work at all on Snow Leopard. If they are having the same problems with the FAM driver (I have no way of trying it), which is part of XDCAM Transfer installation, then maybe this is causing the delay in releasing a new version.

My understanding is that XDCAM Transfer can handle any format that can be recorded on the EX cameras. It sounds as if you might have something missing, although if your versions of XDCAM Transfer and FCP are reasonably recent, you should have all the codecs you need.
There is an easy way to find out; on XDCAM Transfer’s Help menu, there is a ‘Check Installed Components’ item. Click on this and it will bring up a window showing everything it needs and whether its installed.

I recently found that if you put all the MP4 files into a folder you can then drag that folder onto the XDCAM Transfer tool’s Source area.
This is definitely NOT recommended practice, but it will get you going if you are in a hurry.
