CUR is "currency".  For example, "Total (USD)".  The default total column
only shows in the account commodity (which may be a currency, or may be a
stock or other fund).  In this case, different commodities are not rolled
up, because you cannot add Apples and Oranges together.  The "Total (CUR)"
means convert all values to the currency CUR and display that.

I'll note, however, that the roll up should occur anyways, but it does
require that you have an entry in the PriceDB back to your default
currency.  Do you have that entry?
