It seems to be caused by our credit card number being changed, I think, as the time it stopped was around the time they changed it. Originally I went in to the AQBanking setup and just changed the account # there, and tried to download transactions and get the "no transactions for the selected time period" message.  I then tried deleting the online account in the AQBanking setup, and re-created it, but still get the same error.  I did notice that at the end of the AQBanking setup wizard where you select the associated GNUCash account, the GNUCash account has the old credit card # on it under the Account ID column, but I am not sure if that really matters, I haven't been able to find any way to change the Account ID.  If it doesn't matter anyway, then I'm not concerned with it as long as it works.

GnuCash resets the “last retrieved date” to today even when the retrieval is unsuccessful, so on subsequent attempts one must set the beginning date to the date of the last sucessful retrieval.

I've checked various directories under the ~/.aqbanking folder and am not seeing anything.  I did find a gnucash.trace file in /tmp, it does have the line below:

There's a checkbox in the lower left to leave it open after the session finishes; it has an inverse counterpart, "Close log window when finished" in Preferences>Online Banking. Clear that checkbox then try again to retrieve and see if there are any useful messages in the log.

Ah... got it, thank you.   Looks like I'm getting an HTTP 403 error 
back.  This definitely helps me a lot, thank you.  Now I will have to 
figure out what Discover has done to their OFX setup.
