Just to confirm... You're making these assignments *IN the Import
Window* and not after-the-fact, right?  Once you finish the import,
that's it.  If you've assigned accounts *during the import* then gnucash
should remember it.  HOWEVER once you finish it, if you've left
something in Imbalance and then change it from the register, GnuCash
WILL NOT learn that change.

Don't we all?  Especially if it's a wide, crooked crack :)

Hope this helps,
