Reconciling checking account mystery starting balance

[Jon Dallara]

Hello,

   I set up a new instance of GnuCash for my business by entering the 
information from statements from my bank for both my savings and 
checking accounts.  My savings account reconciled no problem.  I tried 
my checking account and the reconcile dialog is insisting that my 
starting balance is -$248.00.  My gnucash checking account and my bank 
statements are both the same and they agree that the opening balance for 
the account was $100 and no where is there a -$248 value or 
transaction.  It isn't on the general journal report nor the general 
ledger report.  How do I find out where GnuCash is getting this value?  
I wasn't able to reconcile the first period of my register because I 
couldn't end up with a zero balance so I selected to cancel the 
reconciliation.  I then went back to try it again and now GnuCash is 
telling me that the period is reconciled (all check boxes are marked) 
and now my starting balance for the next period is -$248.  I can provide 
any reports or other listings that might help.

Thanks,

Jon.
