Problem with Save As with Copy and Trim Media (Vegas 4)

I finished a project for the end of year party we had yesterday (about two hours before the party). The video is just over 10 minutes long and has about 100 source objects. I'm trying to archive the project by selecting Save As with Media, trimmed at 2.0 seconds head and tail. Most of the source files are moderatly sized DV-AVIs, of 200-500 Mb. There are two files that are almost hour long DV files of around 10 Gig. I am using only short clips from these, so the new media should be very small. For one of the large clips, I am getting the entire AVI as the 000 file, and small sub-clips for 001 and 002. Looking in Edit Details, all the events that use the 000 file are seperated by over 10 seconds and show large offsets for the start of the event, so they should be broken up into seperate little files. There are also over 10 events from this file, so there should be atleast that many files. Most of those events still reference the full sized 000 file. Looking at the original project, there are no events for the original large AVI file that span the event.

Any ideas of where to look to fix this? I have tried doing a second generation of Save As with trimmed media, but I get the same result (with an additional number at the end of every file). I also swept the media pool and saved before doing the save as.

The only video file types that will be trimmed are uncompressed AVI and DV-AVI. For some reason, Vegas apparently thinks the file in question isn't one of these types. Right-mouse-button click on the files in the explorer pane and check the properties. Do they differ in any way (other than length, of course) from the other files that were successfully trimmed?

Both of the large files are exactly the same type (AVI-DV) and The second file trimmed correctly. I captured video using pass-through from my camcorder and capturing in Vegas without device control. It actually trimmed two pieces from the file. So I have the full file as 000 and small segments as 001 and 002.
