I think I just created a workaround, but I have not had a lot of time to test it, but it is working so far.
The problem for me seems to be with working off an old 5.1.4 timeline brought into FCP6. So I used media manager to create an ofline project of the original timeline. Then relinking the media on the new offline timeline seems to be working, or at least it is working better.

No, it is not just you, I am having the same problem and I really need a fix. Has anybody figured out what is going on. I tried updating all the FCP6 programs, but the problem still exists. I have thousands of files that I need to relink and I need to know what is going on here.

Thank you all for your help, I think Andrew hit it on the head. I just did not want to accept that, as it adds many more hours and days to my workflow.
Once again, I really appreciate all the help.

Same issue here, only I have well over 1000 files that need to be reconnected. I just upgrade today to 6 and discovered this issue. Somebody has got to know how to fix this or I will not be making my deadline at the end of this week.

The final Delivery format will be DVCPro HD 1080i60. I have attempted using timelines using settings DVCPro HD 1080i60, OfflineRT HD 29.97, and then I have also let FCP6 create the timeline settings based on the first clip I import which typically creates a Photo JPEG 1920×1080 29.97 or 1280×720 29.97.
The footage that I have to use is in Photo-JPEG format (Multiple different dimensions but all HD, and multiple different time base), when I relink to do the finishing the footage will be provided to me in DVCPro HD 1080i60.
My problem is not my playback capabilities, but the need to render everything that does not match the specific sequence settings and thus produces a red render bar. I was under the assumption that FCP6 allowed mutiple formats on the timeline. I am using eSata drives and a gigabit SAN connected to a Diamond Raid Array on an Dual Processor (Xeon Dual Core’s 3.0GHz) Intel Mac with 4gb of ram. That, plus the Photo-JPEGs that I am using have been rendered at an offline ratio so that they opperate at approximately 4.0 Megs per second . So access to the media is not my problem.
I am not new to either editing or computers, just FCP6. I believe the heart of the issue is that FCP6 is incapable of handling mixed formats of the Photo-JPEG format, even though they claim to have open timelines.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
