soundfiles from protools session playback too fast

a project came in that was originally recorded on da-88's (2 for 16
tracks). some months ago, the band had the tracks transferred into
protools. evidently, the guy had one da-88 and recorded 8 tracks at a
time. the tracks came to me via dvd-rom, mac format. the audio
tracks are mono .aiff 44.1/16 bit. there are 16 files, one per audio
track from the da-88's.
i run dp3 with a motu pci-324 and 2408 mkI. i loaded the files into
dp3 and lined up the first 8 tracks with the second 8 tracks. no
problem. everything's fine.
except the band noticed that the tracks are playing back too fast, the
pitch and duration are sped up about a half-step. it's a very similar
factor as 44.1/48 . . .
i opened up one of the files in sound forge (as a .raw file) on a
windows machine. it's still fast, so i don't suspect my hardware.
here's the question -- is there info in the protools file to cause
protools to play it at the correct speed? is there somesort of sample
rate issue between the da-88's and protools? between protools and
dp3?
if the original da-88 was at 48k, and he transered it over at 44.1k,
it seems like it would be slower, not faster.
any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, i'm kinda at a loss.
thanks

(ps. we're trying to get some da-88's in here to bypass the whole
mess since we're trying to end up on 1" 16track . . . )
Be sure your ProTools Hardware Setup is set to internal 44.1 kHz clock and not
external where it might be coming from a 48kHz source.
