Media Manager only connects one clip

Media manager is giving me fits and I am wondering if anyone else has this problem or has figured out a good way to deal with it. Here is what is happening.

I am sending my two hour documentary to another editor for input. To do this, I selected my current timelines and used the media manager to COPY the media to a firewire drive. Before I sent it to him, I wanted to test the project and be sure everything would link up. I disconnected from my drives, making sure the only copy of the media was on the firewire drive. When I opened the project, media manager connected to about half my media with no problem. I was puzzled so I selected five clips that were still offline, and tried to connect. I was able to connect to the first clip in the list, but then the list would clear as though there were no more clips to connect. When I checked my timeline, I found only one clip connected.

With some more testing I have found that this keeps happening. Media manager will only connect to one clip at a time. If I want those five clips online, I am having to reconnect each one separately. Of course this is causing me great pain (there are 1800 clips), pain I hope someone has found a cure or solution for.
