Duplicate entries on transfer between bank accounts

It seems that the duplication is occurring after the imports are completed,
because of the actions you are taking.

Now I have a few transactions happening within my own accounts,
say from A to B. If $100 is credited to A from B, both bank accounts will
have transactions in bank statement, A wil have a debit transaction and B
will have a credit transaction.

You can stop at this point. When you correct the imbalance in account A, it
is simultaneously corrected in account B.
