Hm, this seems specific to Mac, under linux I got a message like "Could not 
retrieve ..."

I also saw this date/time mismatch, which seems caused by a changed yahoo 
format.
After reading of  
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2008-July/026127.html and 
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1731500&forum_id=12832 I 
decided to remove d1 from 
<where your pearl archive sits>/Finance/Quote/Yahoo/Base.pm
in line 63; @FIELD_ENCODING ...
And it worked again for me.
It seems, date and time are stored now in one var.
