I remember that someone else had problems importing stuff.  It turned
out the date identifier did not match a gnucash known type.  It
prevented everything from working to find matches.  Check the import
file in an editor to see if it looks alright.  Check the archives for
the thread if that might be your problem as well.  I believe he did a
search & replace on the identifier for it to work.
