Are you sure the funds for which you are trying to retrieve quotes are still available to Yahoo Europe? There was another person having problems with a UK fund in the past two weeks. When I tried to use the web interface at uk.finance.yahoo.com, there didn't appear to be any price data available.

The other possibility is that yahoo europe has (once again) changed their web page code. If they did, then finance-quote may not be able to parse the new format correctly.
