Griffin is not subscribed and has to wait for me to let his posts
through to the list.

Now that we see what worked for you, Griffin, I suspect that you wanted
to move a bunch of transactions to another account in your account
hierarchy. 
If it is all the transactions in the account, that is easiest.
You delete the account, and Gnucash advises you that the account has
transactions in it, and what do you want to do about them??
Then you tell Gnucash to move them all to the other account.

If it is a subset of the transactions in an account, then you find the
set of transactions with a search query, then work from the search
results box to transfer them as you did, changing one of the accounts
in the split.
