FCPX 10.0.7 Won't create alias' to event files

Question

We recently had a Facilis Terrablock SAN installed along with a CatDV server.
The problem we're having is that FCPX won't create alias files on the SAN when importing footage and not moving it to the Events folder, so everything comes up as offline.
We're adding the SAN location properly in FCPX and we can create alias files in finder on the SAN just fine.
Does anyone have any insight about why this is happening?

Answer 1

SAN's of any kind - AFAIK - are supported. FCPX can work with media on our Facilis SAN so long as I use the "Copy Media To Final Cut Events Forlder" option on direct import. It actually works quite well in this regard.
However, this is not how we want to work with our media. Up to this point we've used our own folder structure on local discs prior to importing footage. This works fine as Final Cut creates short cuts to the original media in the Events Folder (kind of a hack way to do this IMO, but whatever, it works). There is know reason I know of that FCPX shouldn't be able to do the same with a SAN location.
I would appreciate replys from people who've actually worked with FCPX and SAN's. Perhaps I'm asking in the wrong place for that.
