Lance,
It is very common for some financial institutions to be very confused about
the format for CSV files, not realizing that the C stands for Comma.  Many
use TABs or other separators.  That is the reason for all the choices in
the CSV importer definition page.  Either check the file with a text editor
or, easier, play with the separator choice buttons until each field has
it's own title section.  Then you will be able to select each field
separately.
