[GNC] CSV matching produces duplicates?

Even if I know that the match exists, and I tell it that it does, it 
replies that the match does not exist.  So I have to either leave it red 
so it doesn't import, or accept the duplicate.  Which means keeping both 
windows open (the match window and the account window), and manually 
checking the matches myself.  Which defeats the entire purpose of 
computer matching.
