Drat, I'm cognitively impaired tonight (didn't remember the subject  
line...).

The switch from aqbanking 2 to aqbanking 3 changed some of the guts of  
online connections. It appears various ofx servers aren't as  
predictable as one would hope.

I'm still interested in whatever error messages you get (or might get  
if we jack up the reporting level). The most annoying bugs have been  
where the ofx server doesn't even get as far as completing the ofx  
connection (after an ssh session is established). I can't fix those  
errors, but I might be able to help the aqbanking author track down  
additional bugs or workarounds. He's pretty busy at the moment, but  
I'll try to help.
