Personally I create a new catalog for each gig and keep it in the same directory as the raw photos for that gig so I can move each project from one computer to another without a dependency mess.... I realize this is not exactly in the lightroom spirit but it is how I do things in capture1pro ... which is also a very nice editor like lightroom..... slightly diferent but nice.....
I also use photomechanic or fastone to do a first edit/cull bad images before they hit lightroom whenever I edit a big shoot... much faster that way....

mg33 : If you use LR's actual import feature you should see in the import dialogue box the destination of where you're importing to. As long as the target is the catalogue on your FW drive then it should duplicate the files to that drive. This is the exact same way I have my LR setup and it works seamlessly. I do, however, remember being a little apprehensive for the same reasons when i set things up this way. If you want to be extra sure... once you've imported said photos, right click on them and reveal them in finder... then you'll know for sure if they're on your external or not.

I love LR4. ITS AMAZING! I was always using Raw and Bridge. Recently hooked it up to LR. Its great. Better than raw and Bridge IMHO. The catalog system is ingenious, and makes like much simpler.
One thing I miss is the ability to set up a sampler target so one can match values up.

@inhaler97 be careful with the catalog.... I make a new catalog with each project after having crashed and corrupted a catalog once.... maybe that's why LR keeps asking you to backup your catalog, because it's fragile....

I like Lightroom too but the files managing is a little bit hard to understand
