By "scheduled transactions" do you mean just normal transactions that
occur with dates in the future, or something related to Quicken's
recurring transaction model? If the transactions are "Memorized" or
recurring or otherwise not concrete transactions, the gnucash QIF
importer ignores them. That will be fixed when Gnucash starts to
support recurring transactions sometime in the 1.5 series.
If you can't get your QIF to import correctly, could you email it to
me so I can figure out why?

That should work fine. The date itself isn't ever examined, so the
past and the future are no different.

You specify the name of the Quicken account in the "Default QIF
Account" entry box in the Files tab of the QIF import dialog. After
selecting the QIF file, you enter the account name in the box,
unselect the "Auto" toggle button, then click "Load File".
To map this Quicken account on to a Gnucash account, you go to the
"Accounts" tab of the Quicken import dialog and check the automatic
mapping from Quicken to Gnucash account. If there is an incorrect
mapping, click on the incorrect line and enter the correct Gnucash
account information in the dialog that pops up.
