Okay... I tried direct connect... still broken.

Also after tinkering a bit with the date range of the download I'm 
seeing the same sort of transaction matching issue that you are. It 
looks to me like Citi is generating the FITID numbers on the fly such 
that they are unique only within a given download. I wasn't seeing the 
issue at first only because I was repeatedly looking at the same 
(default) date range.
