Perhaps your Quicken had no transfers between accounts?
I posted in this list and was told that's how it is because the transfer
appears in two places in the QIF file and figuring out that it's the
same transaction was not worth implementing in the import code.
I also tried editing the QIF code manually but finally gave up because
that merely moved the manual intervention, didn't eliminate them.
Best thing to do is be aware of the issue and just try it and see
what happens, then post your results here.

Many years ago, I made the jump with a quicken file that had all sorts
of accounts. I had no problems with duplicates, although capital gains
were a challenge.
