Curiously, I can successfully retrieve transactions from tdameritrade.

As it happens, succeeding at connecting won't help much because  
aqbanking doesn't handle investment transactions yet. 3.8.0 even  
prevents you from seeing transactions in the matcher window because  
all of the transactions are in a group  <INVTRANLIST> that aqbanking  
specifically ignores. The transactions still get downloaded to /tmp/ 
ofx.log if you have AQOFX_LOG_COMM=1 set in your environment. You then  
have to import the data using File>Import>Import ofx/qfx.
