You didn't mention the version of perl/fq/gnucash you're using;

For what it's worth, your example works for me:

> gnc-fq-dump canadamutual MAW107
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: MAW107               <=== required
      date: 03/12/2008           <=== required
  currency: CAD                  <=== required
      last: 37.9502              <=\
       nav:                      <=== one of these
     price: 37.9502              <=/
  timezone:                      <=== optional
