Mike, I worked a similar way. I captured a whole hour tape to AVI or .MPEG (for HD). Drag the clip to the timeline and use the razor tool to cut them into smaller clips. Just then manipulate them on the timeline. It works fine this way.
I still don't see much advantage of making subclips.... hmm....

I used to capture a series of small clips from the master tape, a process that took a lot of time. I now capture a whole one-hour tape as a single clip and play through it in the source window. I mark the in and out points of a sub-clip, drag it to the project window and name it, then repeat through the entire master clip until I've pulled out all the clips I want. Advantages: It's a lot easier to precisely mark and pull out sub-clips from a master clip than it is to physically play a tape, jog and shuttle for in and out points, and then wait for Premiere to capture all the clips, even if you're using batch capture. Once you create sub-clips, they act like real clips in the project window and timeline. You don't end up with a folder full of small AVI files, just a single AVI file for each tape. Disadvantages: You're dependent on the project window to manage your sub-clips, and it doesn't offer as many tools as I'd like to label, sort, and sift through clips to get what you want. But maybe I haven't explored them as much as I should.
