- Make a copy of your project and reduce the number of clips to just a few.
- Or just make a new test edit, just using a few clips with identical names out of separate folders.
- Use the demo version of QtChange to add a reel name (called tape in some NLEs, but it's the same).
- You'll need to repeat that for every clip, since the demo only works on one per use.
- Now try if the same project is still read in FCP 7. If so, export the XML and try in DR.
Good luck!

If it works, you may try Shutter Encoder for the same purpose, which is free. But it's up to you to check it out, I've never used it for that purpose (I use Kyno for such jobs, but that's expensive).
Next time I'd suggest using DR to manage everything, sending either a raw cut or proxies to FCP. DR is pretty good at managing it's own stuff, but not always capable of what other NLEs do.
But I'd also check if that camera(s) can't be set to a mode where it doesn't always start with the same naming pattern for a new card.
