I have SDI piped from the Color Corrector to the blackmagic card..

I found the same problems with doing pulldown removal on the card, so  
I do not offer that as an option just 29.97 or 25..I just get asked  
about 24p sd xfer allot and generally figured that the pulldown  
removal in post was best but just removed the extra frames and did  
not de interlace, I suppose it becomes 24psf after pulldown removal?
