FCP 6 Buggy?

Question

Is there a list of confirmed bugs, and/or updates for FCP 6?
I've searched the forums and haven't seen to many things on FCP 6 as of yet. I aoplogize in advance if someone has posted simalarly to my issues.
We're at the tail end of a project, and upgraded to FCS 2.
I'm on a Dual 2.2 G5, w/ 8G RAM, 500 internal, 3TB Raid, Radeon 9600 card/23" HD display.
We have a mix of media from P2, to hi-16mm, (converted DVCPRO HD), mini-DV, and some high speed Phantom V10 footage also DVCPRO HD.
Project settings are DVCPRO HD 720p60.
Everything seemed o.k. at first but quickly realized that some clips seemed to be 'slid/rolled' to a different portion of the source clip, (keeping the durations the same).
Also, I'm noticing some peculiarities in this multi-format timeline. For the most part its great that you can grab just about any footage and slap it in the timeline and you can either see it full res, or catch a green bar, (format outside settings) and see a low res version, none the less be able to play back instantly. However, when I render some of these clips, be it Stills, mini DV, or DVCPRO HD, it somehow randomlychanges the outcome of what I'm trying to see.
Sorry if I'm confusing, but here is a list of symptoms I've noticed:
1. Random selection of clips when unrendered appear to be on different portion of source clip.----when rendered--wha-la- its in its correct position.
The problem with this is that I have to edit blindly, and keep rendering to see my every edit. even if I render a portion-that portion will be correct, then the rest of clip will jump to random spot.?!
2. Some clips that have the low-res green bar will play in right position unrendered. When I render it, it will jump to wrong position of source clip.
I've tried sub-clipping and bringing back into timeline. this seems to work for a moment, however, when it comes into the timeline it appears black, if I render, its fine. If I want to time-remap it throws it out of whack once again.
3. I did a full res render last night, and came in this morning to find that some stills, and mini-DV footage have turned black. Even when double-clicked into the viewer they appear black there as well. When I want to reset the render by grabbing the opacity key on the clip in timeline it chugs the system, gives me the beachball and nothing happens when red bar comes back.
I've tried trashing FCP pref....nothing..
Furthermore, I've messed with the new Motion Stabilizer which I've seen and read, that it analyzes entire source media of clip, (pain in the butt). could that be possibly screwing things up?
Now it also occurs to me that it could be a RAID issue, We're having issues with our RAID Admin not communicating w/Raid, however still being able to work in FCP and see all clips.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks a lot, Zack

.....or not < </div>
The RAID situation could be disastrous. In consideration of your client, you should begin immediately to plan for the worst case scenario: How will you rebuild this project if your RAID is damaged beyond repair?
Sorry no one has contributed to the thread yet, that happens around here with new software. Takes a couple of months for everything to filter down. Few who have upgraded so soon have anything that resembles your rig/resources so it's difficult for the major wonks to help.
While you're waiting, you can search for BUG but bugs are most often simple user errors reported by totally freaked out newbies or folks who upgraded in the middle of a critical project without considering the consequences.
Be sure to check the other FCP forums. If you crosspost, please consider closing all of your threads by posting your solution, should you get one.
Wishing you luck,
