QIF import - Inconsistent Date - How to fix?

[David T.]

Try looking at this older thread: http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2012-July/045330.html

You might consider temporarily setting your date/locale preferences to UK for the import and seeing if that remedies the problem on import.

My apologies.  The actual error message is:

"Transaction date: Unrecognized or inconsistent format."
