I'm not 100% familiar with the way (the feature relating to) the Root Account
was implemented.

I think if you hand-edit your data-file to remove this Root account (and all
references to it's GUID, specifically the <act:parent> refs in the other
top-level accounts) it should work.  If you feel this adventurous, be sure to
test the change on a throw-away copy of your data file first.
