It looks like my QIF was slightly invalid. Playing about with the
gnucash android app and asking it to send me a qif transaction, I came
up with this, which works:
!Account
N5_COMPTES FINANCIERS:51_BANQUES, ETABLISSEMENTS FINANCIERS ET
ASSIMILES:512_Banques:5121_Comptes en monnaie
nationale:51215_Comptes online:512151_Helloasso
^
!Type:Bank
NHA-20180930-123
D2018/9/30
PSomething yummy
MThis is a note
S6_CHARGES:62_AUTRES SERVICES EXTERIEURS:625_Déplacements, missions
et réceptions:6251_Voyages et déplacements:62511_Voyages,
Déplacements sportifs, Stages du club)
$-6001.00
^
Notably, I needed to use full hierarchical names and add an N field to
the !account section (rather than !Account:<account-name>). Or at
least, this worked, I'm not fully certain my explanation is correct.
