Bad assumption.  Are you sure that you are using the correct symbol *for
the quote source*.  Just because you know the symbol is FOO does not
mean that the quote source will accept FOO.  It might require FOO.GB, or
FOO0123, or some other variation.

Assuming you have the correct symbol *for the quote source*, then the
problem is likely a problem with the F::Q grabber.  In which case you
would need to work with a F::Q developer to get it fixed.  :(
