At last. Someone who knows how Intuit implemented CLIENTUID. It's new  
enough that it hasn't been implemented in aqbanking. It looks to me  
like there will have to be another optional field added to aqbanking  
in order to get the header setup to include the key.

Can you post or send the portion of the ofx.log that contains  
information on how the CLIENTUID is sent in relation to the other tags  
sent?

the aqbanking-devel list would be a more direct route, since I don't  
think anyone but Martin Preuss will do the coding for this.
