I'm glad to hear it.  The symptoms were a little strange though, even for
a TOC issue.  Oh well, at least the result is consistent now.

No problem.  Even though things appear to be working now you will still
suffer from the problems I mentioned.  You might just be lucky in that in
this particular case your sources were sufficiently close in frequency such
that the drift over the 4 minutes of footage wasn't particularly audible. 
As your clips get longer it is guaranteed that your sync will drift unless
all digital audio recording sources are locked to the same clock.  The
amount of drift (and therefore the maximum clip length before you notice it)
depends on how close the recorders' clocks were, which is indeterminant
since there's a temperature dependency in the frequencies.
