Default Problems importing AAF into PT

Error - "Could not complete your request because an unexpected error happened while trying to find a media file's location."

We've been having no end of problems trying to import an AAF into pro tools.
We have tried Embedded and Referenced and both are giving the above error.... I'm at my wits end :-(
The referenced AAF I have been importing the AAF with the audio in the same folder as the AAF and also tried placing the audio in a sub folder called Audio but this gives that error too. Is there a specific folder hierarchy i need to create maybe?

If i create a session in PT and click import the referenced AAF via the file menu rather than dbl clicking the AAF itself i get this error
"Could not complete the Import Tracks command because an unexpected error happened while trying to find a media file's location"

Please Help!

PT 11.3.1
AAF created from Premier Pro

El Captain 10.11.6
iMac (27-inch, Late 2012)
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
20 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Thanks for the aaf.

Please check the images.
The AAF have a video track inside, if you don't select them it should work fine, without errors.

Import session1

After import session

Then just import your video file as you usual do.

Do you want me to send you my PTX file that I created from your AAF?

You then can relink the files, if you have all them with you.
