OFX Direct Connect Setup Question

[yetanother]

David,
Thanks!  I've attached the  http://www.nabble.com/file/p15293705/ofx.log
ofx.log  file [edited]

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, if you don't mind I'll put something in the OFX Direct Connect FAQ to
show how to set the environment variable and get the ofx.log.  It will
mention Windows systems as well (so others won't make the dumb mistake I did
