import help please

[Derek Atkins]

The importer only imports the transactions.  It pretty much ignores
everything else.

Is there any output on your terminal (where you ran "gnucash &") from
when you perform the import?

Another thing to try is to limit the list of txns being imported,
until you figure out which txn(s) are causing problems..  Then file a
bug report at bugzilla.gnome.org, providing the 'broken' txns, so the
problem can be corrected.
