Yes, FCP recognizes "s_SAVBLD-092211" as a single <thingy>, but it would
assume that "s_SAVBLD-092311" is another <thingy> until you tell it
differently.

MXF files are complex wrappers for as many as 4 parallel files. Sadly
not all vendors doing "mxf" agree on what is, like ragoo sauce, "in there."

FCP has a plugin/tool for doing mxf, but finding out what equipment is
compatible with said output is difficult!
