I'd use a Fetch CHOP:

- Set Node to the subnet containing the fbx rig

- Set Channels to a newline separated list of the nodes you want. Hit Alt+E inside the parameter to bring up the multiline editor for it.

eg.

Hips/*
RHipJoint_To_RightUpLeg/*
RightUpLeg_To_RightLeg/*
RightLeg_To_RightFoot/*
RightFoot_To_RightToeBase/*
RightToeBase_To_RightToeBaseEnd/*
LHipJoint_To_LeftUpLeg/*
LeftUpLeg_To_LeftLeg/*
LeftLeg_To_LeftFoot/*
LeftFoot_To_LeftToeBase/*
LeftToeBase_To_LeftToeBaseEnd/*
LowerBack_To_Spine/*
Spine_To_Spine1/*
Neck_To_Neck1/*
Neck1_To_Head/*
Head_To_HeadEnd/*
RightShoulder_To_RightArm/*
RightArm_To_RightForeArm/*
RightForeArm_To_RightHand/*
RightFingerBase_To_RightHandIndex1/*
LeftShoulder_To_LeftArm/*
LeftArm_To_LeftForeArm/*
LeftForeArm_To_LeftHand/*
LeftFingerBase_To_LeftHandIndex1/*

- Set Fetch = OP Control Channels

- Set Select = Create Channels

- Set Channel Names = OP and Channel Names
