I’m pretty sure Todd is experiencing the behavior in:

Bug 653715 


The matcher does poorly if there exist multiple transactions already in the 
register that have the same dollar amount for each transaction and the incoming 
import data also has matching transactions for more than one of those 
identical-amount transactions.

Re: GnuCash skips lines with identical dollar amounts during bank statement import

Todd,

The OFX/QFX import requires a lot of TLC during the import to get
everything right.  During the verification step it is critical to examine
each transaction carefully to be sure that if it is new it gets added, if
it matches an existing transaction in your data it is matched to the
correct existing transaction, etc.

The details vary depending on some of your settings, but as John points out
in his reply, you probably see some highlighted in red that should be
changed to be accepted during the import.

Note that once GnuCash has seen a transaction in an import file, it will
recognize it if it appears again.  This is true even if you rejected it in
the previous import session. There is also a small chance that your source
file is incomplete, so if you cannot complete a reconciliation without
re-importing some missing transactions, that requires some jumping through
hoops.  In that case it may be easier to create the missing transactions
manually.

Are you sure that the transactions aren’t being marked as duplicates in the 
match window? If they are they’ll be highlighted red instead of green and you 
must check the “A” box to override it.
