Acid loops in Vegas - any experience? - please help

So I beatmap a percussion track in Acid, and as I am beatmapping it I choose to save it by "Preserving Pitch of the Beatmapped Track When Tempo Changes" and I save the beatmapper info with the file........
Fine - it opens in Acid and when I change the tempo the pitch is preserved....
Then I render the file and open it in Vegas 6 (which says it can now deal with Acid loops.. and I have tried both options in the audio tab of Pref to Import Audio at project tempo
but when I change the tempo the pitch changes - this is not what I want - I want the pitch to be preserved as it so worked in Acid - is this the way of the Vegas world or is there some checkbox I have ommitted??

If you have the option of "import audio at project tempo" disabled, it shouldn't be changing anything. I've just played with this just now, and ti's working fine on my end. Are you exporting an MP3 file, wma, or a wav file from ACID?

thanks Spot - when you say it is working fine - do you mean that when you chnage the tempo (rate ) in Vegas the pitch of the track stays the same? - because in my question here it does not - I would like the pitch of a beatmapped track imported into Vegas to stay the same as the tempo in Vegas changes....
I am exporting to .wav from Acid and choosing to keep the beatmapper info in the saved file as well as enabling "Preserve pitch of the Beatmapped track when Tempo changes" ...

not as slick, but infinitely easier...

I rough cut the video, and bring it into ACID for music adjustments - then export the music wav for use in Vegas - I'll bring in individual hits and stings directly into Vegas, so I can tweak them into position.

thanks for the advice
yes I am discovering this - work in Acid for a lot of this - I just prefer the editing capabilities of Vegas
I have also remembered that Vegas event Properties has pitch and tempo setup stuff that allows me to vary how an event is stretched which is helping me with some
