I guess I’m looking to know if I need to move on, or if they reallly do care.

You bring up a very good question.

In Motion a clip actually is a drop zone. If you created your group of content with the keyed clip in it and duplicated it you would have the same keyed clip in both groups. Just drag the second keyed clip onto of the 1st key clip and wait for the hooked shaped arrow. Then let go and it will swap out keyed clip 1 for # 2. Repeat 7 more times.

Depending on the footage you can pull a key with the Primatte keyer, but for most keys I find it to be a crudy keyer. I typically use third party keyers. The newest keyer that I’ve switched to will not work in Motion. So I key the footage in FCP and export it out as an Quicktime Animation set to Millions +. Then import it into Motion.

If you do a drop zone and import the clip with the key filter, the key filter will not work. YOu will see your clip with the green background. You cannot import a nest into a drop zone. So you are stuck with doing it in Motion. Sorry, I’m sure this is not the answer you where looking for.

Is the same keyed footage going to be in all 9 boxes or is it 9 separate keyed clips in the 9 boxes?

Second problem, I pull the new key into my project in M5 and the keyed part shows up black!

Do you export the keyed clip to the Animation or Proress 4444 codec and was it set to Millions +?

The FCS2 to FCS3 transition work real well for me. I think you will enjoy the new features.
