Before you do, I have some more questions:

- what type of matching do you use on both accounts (FITID or hash)?
- in either case, what is the FITID/hash of the stored and the imported transaction
  (I agree the hash for the imported transaction can become tricky, but you can
   look into the kmm-statement....txt file)

Is there a match?
