The ! exclamation mark indicates a posting which is in the "pending" state. I imagine this is happening because you were in the midst of doing a reconciliation with these transactions?

I just started using Ledger (2.6.2, as packaged in Debian 'testing').

I imported data from a GnuCash 2.2.9 file, and the resulting ledger
has "!" marks in unexpected places.  For example:

 2008/07/01 CHECK CARD REWARDS ANNUAL FEE
     Unspecified                  $25.00
     ! Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account

 2008/07/07 MONTHLY MAINTENANCE FEE - NO ONL
     Unspecified                   $2.50
     ! Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account

 2008/08/06 MONTHLY MAINTENANCE FEE - NO ONL
     Unspecified                   $2.50
     ! Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account

 2008/08/12 BANK BY MAIL DEPOSIT
     ! Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account       $120.00
     Income:Donations:Restricted

A great many of my entries have a "!" on one line or the other (it
seems never both, though).

The manual at http://joyful.com/repos/ledger/doc/ledger.html talks a
little bit about "!" (in section 2.1), but that explanation appears to
apply only to the first line -- it doesn't explain what "!"  might
mean in the positions where I'm seeing it.  Note that I also see "*"
in a similar position sometimes, which indicates that these really are
the pending/cleared markers described in section 2.1... perhaps they
were just misplaced by the import process?

Any hints welcome.
