I assume you mean this was with the "Open file" dialog.  Hmmm...  I'll

The fact that there were no accounts combined with #7 below seem to 
indicate that it didn't load your existing xml file, but instead created 
a new sqlite file.

For clarifications, if you load from an xml file, the account balances 
should be correct.  If you load from a db, the balances may be 0.00.
