The payee is not a problem. There's no need for a transaction to have a payee.

The problem is, that the transactions mentioned have a post date which lies 
before the opening date of the 'Opening balances' account. You can try the 
following:

a) open the Settings/Configure KMyMoney/General/Filters tab and turn on the 
'Show equity accounts" and press OK
b) select the Accounts view. You should now see the 'Equity/Opening Balances' 
account
c) Use the RMB (right mouse button) on that account to select the 'Edit 
account' function
d) Change the date to 12/05/01

That should do the trick from what I see. You can now turn off the option set 
up in step a).

If this does not work, please let us know.
