Something is wrong with your setting up or returning an array of  
multiple quotes. Each of those symbols works if you only ask for one  
quote, but any attempt to retrieve multiple quotes fails:

echo '(ftest_funds "NTJUL00779" "FXXIN06789")' | gnc-fq-helper
(("NTJUL00779" (symbol . "NTJUL00779") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2008-11-04  
12:00:00") (price . 8391.00) (currency . "EUR"))
  #f)

echo '(yahoo "IBM" "AAPL")' | gnc-fq-helper
(("IBM" (symbol . "IBM") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2008-11-07 16:02:00")  
(last . 86.27) (currency . "USD"))
  ("AAPL" (symbol . "AAPL") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2008-11-07 16:00:00")  
(last . 98.24) (currency . "USD")))
