Your problem is not in the "multi currency accounts" but rather in how 
the currency exchange rates are processed in the "reports". I guess you 
just need to open your report options and choose one of the other 
multichoice options in the "price source" option. By default, this will 
use your currency exchange transactions (weighted average), but if you 
don't have any, it will end up zero. If, on the other hand, you want the 
reports to use your imported price quotes, then you need to choose 
"lates price" or somehting like that as a price source.
