It looks like you've got some extra unicode characters in your
qif file that's causing the QIF Parser to Barf.  In particular
it means you don't match this regex when trying to parse the qif
category:

(define qif-category-compiled-rexp 
  (make-regexp "^ *(\\[)?([^]/\\|]*)(]?)(/?)([^\|]*)(\\|(\\[)?([^]/]*)(]?)(/?)(.*))? *$"))

You might want to hand-edit your file and remove any extra
unicode characters like that.
