OK.  Are you importing an OFX file or by direct connect?  If you have or 
can get an OFX file, and if on importing it, you get the error, might 
you be able to send me (off-line) a copy to try to reproduce the issue? 
  Just edit it to remove any personal data, account names, amounts etc. 
  That would help tremendously
