update-finance-quote problem

[Derek Atkins]

I've no clue.  Perhaps the price source isn't set up properly?
Or perhaps it isn't supported by gnucash or the version of
F::Q you've got?

I'd suggest trying dump-finance-quote, but it's no longer distributed
with 1.8.1 (although I believe it is still part of the source tree).

Maybe someone else can help (hampton?)
