Since the account numbers are the same, it treats them as a single account, yet they are two distinct accounts.  It doesn't seem to care about the logins.  Is there something I can do to fix this?

It asked me to select an account for all the transactions (Assets:Current Assets:His:Savings) and the transactions were imported correctly.  I then went to import my wife's 0001 account and it didn't ask me to select an account for all the transactions. Instead, it just assumed the it was mine (Assets:Current Assets:His:Savings).  It looks like it is confused by the fact that the bank routing number and account number are the same for both of us.  But shouldn't it care that it is from two different users?  I don't know how to work around this (besides manually doing the import myself).  Is this a bug or am I just doing it wrong?

It does show separate accounts.  My 0001 account is attached to 
Assets:Current Assets:His:Savings and her 0001 account is attached to 
Assets:Current Assets:Her:Savings.  It doesn't seem to use that when 
importing the transactions.  I also checked if I could have both 
accounts point to the same gnucash account.  It won't let me.

Thanks,
