That error message is very similar to one seen using ofx.py if the version of quicken was too old. Currently aqbanking sends <APPID>QWIN and <APPVER>1200 in the OFX header. Quicken for windows 2006 is up to version 1500, so my first guess is that BofA has set a new 'oldest allowable' Quicken version that's newer than 1200. I've searched both aqbanking and gwenhywfar for the place that the ofx header is set up with the appid and appver, but I can't find it.
