Yeah, way off.
I spot checked a couple of transactions and the numbers are
wrong. Seems like moneydance converted all the ammounts to
USD so GnuCash picked them up like that. This one is gonna be
painfull since I'm not sure which rate MoneyDance used.
The balances are soooo off there's got to be something else
wrong. I'm not sure if the transfers between accounts took or
if I have a bunch of duplicates in. I'll try to verify that.

You can setup transactions that have to occur on a certain
date, day of the week or whatever. The main page shows
"Upcoming items" and "Overdue items". You can simply click on
the items and the info is filled in already. All you have to
do is record the transaction.
