If you're just starting out then I'd suggest you try a do-over.  These
imbalances imply that you did not assign correct Income/Expense accounts
during your import process.  The importer is the only place you can
"mass assign" transactions.  So I suggest you start over and re-do the
imports, and be sure to assign the transactions this time around.
