FWIW I wanted to import PocketMoney data into GNUCash, so I wrote a
small Perl script to export PocketMoney's data files to a .QIF file
(either all transactions, or just the new transactions).
The script seems to work pretty well - I would have released it already,
but I'm away from home at the moment and the script is located on a
machine there.
I will be back home in about 10 days or so; I'll put the script online
then.
It's not quite as direct as a native import into GNUCash but it suits my
purposes well.
