Help with importer needed

[Scumbuster]

Well, not sure why it would matter whether I use the "imbalance" account or
create a special one for "uncleared"....

But I will take your word for it that that would help...maybe that is what
is causing the issue??

Can you clue me in on how to direct importer to import everything to that
account if I create it?

If you want an 'uncleared transactions' account, just make one, start
telling the importer to transfer to there, and work from there.
