OK, it looks like GnuCash is mistaking the `ent' account code for an
actual account name. Maybe it expects all account names to start with
letters and account codes to start with numbers? In this case a quick
and dirty workaround would be to put a number, say `1', before all your
account codes. So `ent' becomes `1ent' and so on. I just tried this out
and it seems to work fine.

HTH,
