Well, it's the first time you've let on that you didn't have the projects. Why is that the projects are missing? Did you trash them?
There is a difference between not having the exported movie and not having the project (and presumably not the event either).

This has never been a problem before though. I have other movies exported from FCPx that dont have the respective projects and they are still working. I purposely deleted them.
Sorry for not including this earlier. I didnt think it was in any way relevant. My fault.
The problem is not having the project. I couldn't care less about recovering the project. I am exclusively interested in recovering the exported movie. That exported file in now MIA, so to speak, and nowhere to be found.

Well, stuff happens and here is a case where archiving would have been valuable.
Afraid the only way that you will be able to get your work back is if you use Time Machine or some other BU utility and can restore from that.

Something is deleting the files.
Not sure what to suggest, other than make sure the disk is Ok.
Disk Utility can help, but it's not the best. DiskWarrior can actually rebuild the disk index, if needed.
