Weird Problem Transfering Tracks Over Lightpipe

Has anyone had problems transfering digital tracks to Vegas 2.0h where the files play slow as if at the wrong sample rate?

I have recently started having problems transfering a 16 track 24 bit / 48 KHz project from an Alesis HD24 using the Lightpipe interfaces. I am using the Frontier Dakota\Montana card on a Win 2K SP3 machine. The properties are set up correctly to record 24/48 and the files show this after the transfer is done. When I play the files they are slow and low in pitch as if I were playing 48 KHz files using a 44.1 clock (which is not the case). I was doing this successfully before and the only thing that has changed is the Dakota driver (went from the beta WDM version to the offical 3.0 release). Interestingly, if I record any pair of these tracks to Sound Forge 6 they are correct. It is as if Vegas is resampling the tracks incorrectly when it should not be altering them at all.

I'm really stumped on this one and neither Frontier Designs or SF have responded yet to my support requests.

If you went through a compressor into vegas when recording you may have to keep it on during playback. This works for me as my audiophile24/96 clock will not play back tracks at the same speed as the coax clock that my dbx 376 sends when left to itself.
