Dave F,

I do not think that GnuCash is able to re-map accounts on the fly during
an import.  When I wanted to do that sort of thing, I did the re-mapping
in an intermediate Quicken file before exporting.  There were some other
'sins' that Quicken had been letting me get away with that were most
easily fixed in Quicken before export, such as missing transfer accounts
in some transactions.  Check the suggestions in the other thread called
conversion from Quickbooks too.
