I guess you're running gnucash with locale LANG=C (i.e. english 
messages), in which case the decimal point has to be '.' (a point) 
instead of the comma ','. The comma ',' is expected for example in the 
locale LANG=de_DE.

If you enter a comma even though the locale expects a point or vice 
versa, the whole amount is interpreted as zero. And for an amount of 
zero the HBCI code rather aborts the whole transaction (which is 
probably the best thing to do in this case). Maybe I should add a big 
error message dialog if this occurs...
