I have had mild success with editing the XML or .pproj (also XML) file in either a text program, or an XML editor like Adobe Dreamweaver.
You can do a “search/replace” to change all “.mov” references to “.r3d” files, and thus Premiere will auto-find most of the files (as opposed to having to re-associate every single file).
If you try this method, BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL. It’s easy to mess up a project/xml file doing this.

But this will gobble up a LOT of hard drive space.

But this (importing the entire project) will create the problem you are currently trying to avoid (all your files will be in your final).
When you are finished, you should import your final sequences into your master Project File. This will import only the files actually used into your final project.
It’ll take a little bit of time to go sequence by sequence, but it will keep things from getting gummed up.
If there’s a better way, I’d like to know about it (because this is a pain in the keester).

Right, I was responding to moving a whole track at the same time… it’s still very time consuming doing 11 or 12 tracks in lots of sequences.
Nesting seems the best current option. I wish there was a way to “nest export.” Ideally, I’d like to nest a sequence, but have the original remain intact… just add the new nested sequence to the bin, not replace the original clips with the new nested sequence in your current sequence.
In other words, when you create a nested sequence, all the clips in your timeline are replaced with that nested sequence. I’d rather the current sequence remain intact, and just have the nested sequence accessible from the bins.

We tried simply exporting using format 4 from FCP 7, but it didn’t work. Had to go back to FCP 6.

Split the clip into pieces (razor tool to use the mouse or ctrl+k with the keyboard) and alter only the part that you want showing fast forwarded.

That’s what I’m currently doing, but when it’s 10 or 11 tracks on hundreds of sequences it get’s time consuming and annoying.
I’m hoping for a command that simply “squashes” the sequence, so that all the tracks drop down to on track, and the clips that were visible because of their track hierarchy stay that way.

Sounds like an interlacing problem to me.

You can move an entire track’s clips, but you can’t actually move the track itself(along with it’s name and keyframe/name settings).
I’ve submitted a request to Adobe for this feature through several versions of Premiere.

Exactly the same problem we’re having. The machines with FCP 7 installed won’t export an XML that can be imported into Premiere. Our assistant editor is actually having to export the XML’s from FCP 7, import them into FCP 6 on an older machine, and then export from there, so we can import into Premiere.
Anyone with an idea of why this might be happening please post.
My only theory is that Final Cut actually made the change on purpose because they don’t want you leaving their domain to work in Premiere. ;-o
