Right from what i understand the DXG-595V produces Mov files so they should be compatible. Looking at the Final Cut Express 4 page on the Apple site it appears to be fine.
Would it be possible for you to confirm the format (aka Mov) and also how you are capturing it. Being that it's flash card stuff i assume you're dragging and dropping into FCE from your desktop?
Not 100% sure but it might be one of these things you have to run through iMovie '06 first... I doubt it but you never know.

mov is not a format... looking at the specs on the B&H page, it shoots h.264.
you'll need to convert all of these to AIC to be edited. If FCE does DVCProHD, then you could go to that as well.
are the files greyed out or something when you go to Import > File in FCE4?
what you probably have to do first is move your video files from the sd card to your computer. and then open up FCE and see if you can import then. you can also drag and drop those files to the timeline.
also make sure that you double-check user settings and pick the appropriate format for your project. ie, 1280 x 720 (HD) for 720p video sources.
hope this helps.
regardless is you can bring in the 1080p videos, you should be converting everything out of h.264 because it isn't an editing format, it is a delivery codec. try converting to AIC, if that doesn't work, then you have a real problem.
H.264 is like mpg2, it is a format used for final playback/delivery.
It is heavily compressed, and I dont know anything about your camera, but I would bet that your cam shoots long gop H.264, which is definitely not an editing format.
