Well, the problem is obvious..    The !Type is invalid...

This <A0> is the problem.  The parser certainly sees this is a QIF
file, but can't understand the type that's provided, so it loads no
transactions.  If you remove the <A0> character then it should get
read properly.

I love how M$ decides to slightly change the format....

Nope, that should be fine.
