I have a similar problem here: I am transferring funds on regular basis from 
one account to another but that is inter-bank (two banks involved) which leads 
to the effect that the transaction will never match due to different post 
dates.

I solved the problem by creating a transfer-account (type checking) which 
usually has a balance of zero and sees both transactions. Having two schedules 
for the transfers works like a charm for me. I bet, you could do the same.

See the OFX spec chapter 2.5.1.5 (I send Hugo a copy off list).

We (i.e. KMyMoney) use http://www.ofxhome.com/ to collect this information 
even online. It is much better than a static web/wiki page because the service 
also checks for the availability of OFX with the given parameters.
