Thanks for the clue.  When I try to map an account, I do see woob as  
one of the options.  I'm not sure why I expected to see it under  
File/Import.  As you suggest, I also then get the error about it not  
being installed properly.  However, in my case, woob IS correctly  
installed, and works.  That is, as far as I can tell, as it's a known  
problem not to work with Paypal [due to Captcha] and I have no account  
at any of the other banks, although I suppose that won't stop me from  
trying to map to them and just failing to find an account.  I'll have  
to try enabling it for one of those other banks.

So, my real question remains what has actually failed, and why the  
configure plugins show it as available when it's actually not.
