FCPX XML import error "edit frame boundary"

Question

Hello,
I'm attemting to import an XML file into FCPX from Davinci Resolve and am continually getting an error log message which contains the following: "the item is not on an edit frame boundary." I'm working with raw CDNG files from a 5D Mark III in Resolve and trying to export quicktime files in a roundtrip workflow. 
I'm working on a 23.976 timeline and everything appears to be set up correctly in Resolve.  It exports the quicktime files and the XML file.  When I import the XML into FCPX, the error code appears (see below).  The new clips appear in a new event and a project is created, but the project settings have changed from "1920 x 818" to "1280 x 720" and the frame rate has changed from 23.976 to 60p. These settings cannot be modified in the project settings.  I can see the new timeline but it doesn't play normally.  I think it has something to do with a framerate mismatch or timecode problem, but I'm not sure, I've checked everything I can think of.  Incidentally, the other side of the workflow (exporting XML from FCPX to Resolve) works just fine.  Really hoping to be able to take a graded timeline back into Final Cut for finishing.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi,
You open XML file you will see xml file will contain many task tag <Tag> 
<Task>
<UID>1</UID>
<ID>1</ID>
<Name>task1</Name>
<Active>1</Active>
<Manual>1</Manual>
<Type>0</Type>
        <IsNull>0</IsNull>
Every task will start with  <Task> and task Name will come as <Name>task1</Name>. You can find all the line with <Name>task1</Name> then you can copy all the task in excel truncate <Name> and <Name>
then you will have only name of the task then in the 2nd column of the excel you can paste tasks from MPP fiel then you can check easily which task is not present in the xml file.
