[GNC] Mutual Fund - Price Import from csv, "Namespace could not be understood"

[Ashok Sinha]

Hi David, thanks. Verified that:
 - csv file encoding same as for the import.
    --> UTF-8 encoding
 - namespace + symbol + currency already exist in your data file.
    --> These are already in the price database, where I updated manually
till so far. Now trying importer to add prices.

Hi John,
Removed leading spaces.
    --> This resolved it! Now it imports beautifully!

Thanks,
Ashok
