What version of GnuCash are you using?  I just looked at the Edit 
Security dialog in the current version from Subversion and there seems 
to be a bug which makes it impossible to select quote sources that 
aren't built in to GnuCash.  That dialog has three pop up menus for 
quote sources, Single, Multiple, and Other.  Each is supposed to have a 
radio button to enable it, but there are only two radio buttons.  The 
second one activates the second pop up, but has the tool tip for the 
third one.  There seems to be no way to activate the last pop  up menu, 
which is where your new quote source should be.  I doubt if this bug 
applies to version 2.4.

If you edit the list mentioned above, then your quote source should go 
into one of the other two lists.  This might at least circumvent the 
bug until it is fixed.
