Hi Everyone,
I just got off the phone with APPLE. After being tossed around from one tech person to the next I finally was talking to a senior technician for the video products. Obviously telling him that this situation is unacceptable because our entire organisations b-roll is on our FCS and PR departments are unable to pull files etc. He gave me the following link to solve the problem.

You have to have the latest Java 7. So either you download it or if you already downloaded it go to Java in System Prefrences and then click the UPDATE button to check for any further updates. I also went into the security tap and lowered security to medium (not sure if that step was necessary) and also went into Advanced tap and set JNLP File/MIME Associations to ALWAYS ALLOW (not sure if this step was necessary either).
Also, ensure you have the Apple JAVA update that you find through updates in the AppStore. Its the 2013 v.1.
I successfully got FCS working again through this method on two Mountain Lion Macs of which one already had the "hacked" FCS client that was provided in this discussion earlier by someone and the other MLion Mac had a clean FCS Client installation from the server. The steps also worked fine on a Lion OS Mac.
Im now going to try the setup as set out by Apple in the link they gave me for the 10.6.8 Server OS which is running FCS to see if the client comes back on it too.
Hope this helps!!!
