I ran into similar difficulties and just gave up.  I upgraded my copy of
Quicken and am back using it on Windows.  I'll just wait for this to settle
out when Debian Woody comes out.

But my concern is: will I run into this same convoluted mess with some
future revision of gnucash?  Or is this likely to be a one-time disaster? I
don't want to become dependent on an application that is going to foul me
up in the future.
