Thanks for the reply, Dave.

The account is there. It appears in the generated transaction, and if I 
edit the generated transaction, I can cut/paste the value in the splits 
from Imbalance-AUD to the correct account and that works as it should.

The scheduled transaction? I haven't tried that, and I probably won't 
for a bit, because I'd like to find out what the cause is, if I can, 
especially if the cause is a bug that should be reported.

I can delete and manually re-create the generated transaction. I have to 
keep deleting the generated transactions anyway, because I get a new one 
every time I open the account file :(

Cheers,
Peter
