[GNC] Two accounts with same name in same Trading account

[R Losey]

As we have recently discussed, GnuCash uses an internal ID for the
accounts; the "name" can be anything... you could name all of your accounts
"My Account" if you really wanted to, but that would be highly confusing...
the account name is for our benefit... (that's why, if I hold the same
stock in two different brokerage accounts, that I use different account
names for them - I typically use <account>-<stock>.  For example, if I have
Amazon stock in both a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA, I'll call one
"TIRA-Amazon" and the other one "Roth-Amazon" -- it works for me).

Because the transactions in the account are different, it seems that
(somehow) you created the account twice. You should just consolidate them
into one account and remove the other one.
