I also have this problem. So far to fix it I use an older version of FCP to do the conversion then bring it into the new one.

24p is what they shoot for this material

Right I was thinking of another work flow when I was talking about 24 over 29.97, I get the camera data cards from another outfit. They get me to process. It is P2 material for sure. The camera itself I have not seen. I don’t have issue with camera material most of the time. It comes to me at 23.98 fr rate and 1080/60i DVCPro compressor. I turn around and put it out to tape at 23.98 (HDCAm) No problems with any of this on my old system. When I bring this stuff to my new rig is where the trouble begins. Under compressor in FCP, it states the material is 1080/30p DVCPro on the NEW system, 1080/60i on the OLD. I took some old 29.97 (1080p 24 wrapped) footage I had from before brought into the new system and tried to use the Cinema Tools to reverse telecine it (take it back to 24) and the app said it did not recognize the compressor used.
Another strange thing happened yesterday, I used the NEW system to make a 24 frame (progressive) QT from 30 frame (interlace) material (by removing the pulldown) it didn’t fully work. I could still see interlace issues every 4 frames or so.

Let me be clear on a few things I forgot; The video comes from P2: Vid Rate 29.97 (over 23.98) The material is shot 23.98 but pushed into 29.97 to conserve space. Compressor: 1080i 60. This vid needs to go to tape (23.98 HDCAM SR) with some HDSD9 footage. This footage is 24 frames, timeline is 23.98, hence the need for reverse telecine with Cinema Tools on the P2 material.
It is strange because this work flow was fine on vers 2 and tiger I was testing out last month.Russ
