That is strange. Something must have changed in the meantime and I have no 
idea what it could be. Looking at 
http://www.ofxhome.com/ofxforum/viewtopic.php?id=47480 people report some odd 
things about Schwab, but I doubt that they are reasons for not being able to 
map an account.

Unfortunately, no.  I wonder what broke that we cannot map online accounts 
using OFX anymore. Apparently only with certain banks.
