Why does my media appear offline for a split second? It's messing up my exports! FCP 7.0.3

Question

Every so often, while I'm working, I'll see some of my media go red, with the slash, just for a split second. Just a red flicker almost. It doesn't require me to reconnect or anything, which is weird, as FCP usually makes me go through all the steps of reconnecting.
I'm working off of servers, managed through EditShare. I work for a local TV station, so I don't know all the ins and outs of our network. But this isn't the real problem....The issue above doesn't really matter. I don't even notice it happen most of the time. But, I believe it's the root of my real problem.
You see, I like to use "Share..." instead of export, which lets me continue to edit other things while it background exports in a small, floating window. THE PROBLEM is if my media 'flickers' during a 'share export' I get the red 'MEDIA OFFLINE' page in my video. If I 'Share' it again, it always comes out fine. But that 'MEDIA OFFLINE' page has made it to TV occasionally.
VERY embarrassing. And nobody wants to hear it only happened because I wanted save time.
So, I'll just have to double-check EVERY clip I export this way, which is super annoying. Anyone have any advice?

You might try doing a "send" to compressor, instead of share, which also allows you to continue working.    But it might have the same problem.  I don't work with shared storage and I generally prefer to do a self contained export at current settings (which if your project is fully rendered is pretty fast) and then bring it into compressor for compression which allows me to continue working.  But I do occasionally use the "send" to compressor function (again without shared storage) continue editing, and have never seen this problem
