"OFC" is not "OFX", and that might have a bearing on the problem.

According to http://money.mvps.org/faq/article/373.aspx -
"OFC Specification

Although OFC is no longer used in Microsoft Money, the specification
can be downloaded from this website. [900kB Word Document]

I suspect that you will not succeed with that format, but it might be
worth comparing the two.

If, as it seems, you are actually downloading the file for import,
could you show us the date format in it? Lines like
<DTSERVER>20081114000026 or <DTACCTUP>20081114120027, if they exist.
