[Kmymoney] Issue while importing statement data from CSV file

[Marco Dahms]

Hi Allan,

thanks for your valuable input.

Right now I was able to import the CSV file successfully. The point was 
the header line which I deleted in Excel beforehand.
However, it may be helpful in general to give this hint to the end-user 
directly.

Thanks
Marco
