FCPX to Davinci Resolve XML roundtrip - Images have crushed black in FCPX

When roundtripping RED RAW based project from FCPX to Davinci Resolve for grading the images look different when imported back into FCPX (Prores 4444XQ codec, data levels FULL, debayer forced to highest quality).

The blacks are crushed, highlights are higher. The image looks different. Please help!!!

Thanks,

Mac Pro
