Nothing shows up in accounts.

According to https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/File:OFX_Create_user_6.png there
should at least be a "Parsing response...", "Status" messages for the web
requests, and then "Received account ..." for each account. The fact that
it isn't getting any of those at all means it is aborting quite early.

I will try the aqbanking mailing list as well.
