If the transactions don't exist they should be flagged in yellow, if I
remember, which mean it wasn't able to find an transaction to match it
to and the A checked for adding the transaction.  From there you have
to select what category each will be assigned to then it will turn
green.

Where you able to find some other place that you can import an OFX/QFX from?
