This came up recently on this list -- could you look at the OFX files
and look at the transaction IDs?  We've found at least one bank that
incorrectly duplicates transaction IDs across months, so GnuCash thinks
that you've already imported those transactions.

It's possible that Money and KMyMoney ignore the transaction ids
during the import.  Or it's possible that GnuCash is looking at
the wrong field.
