seems like you are having the same problem as I am.  I have 3 
transactions, all on 6/1/12,If I look in the checking acct, I seem 1 of 
them, if I look in another account that is in PrevB, it is there.  When 
I do a trans rep like you described, there are none! The third is linked 
to orphan accounts because it is a work in progress.
