Well, yes, GnuCash knows the account number, but that's not what the bank 
returns in this case. Some banks choose - for whatever reason, I really can't 
think of a good one - to report a truncated version of the account number in 
the statements, and that's what GnuCash needs to catch if it wants to read 
the requested statements :-/
