Accounts with different currencies

I'm using a recent CVS version of gnucash.
I have a question about using accounts with different currencies. Most
of my accounts are $USD, but I have one bank account in $CAD. I created
it with an opening balance along with the rest of my $USD asset
accounts, and entered the exchange rate in the price editor. This seems
to work fine. The total of the assets is correct after factoring the
exchange rate.
Next, I created a liability (loan), also in $CAD, and this also worked.
The problem is when I try to make an entry between the two $CAD
accounts. The balance in either account doesn't change. I.e, in the
register for the bank account, it shows
Date Description Transfer Deposit Withdrawal Balance
11/17/2001 Opening Balance Equity... 550.69 650.69
11/19/2001 Loan payment Loan... 166.07 650.69
Is there some step that I'm missing?
