Is there some reason you couldn't just change the opening balance in the
register to the correct amount, then performing the reconcile?

I thank everyone for their feedback.
I resolved it the painful way of creating a new file, downloading my
transactions (Thanks to Bruno Acklin's posting of the settings I needed), then
establishing the opening balances before reconciling the first time.
Fortunately, I am relatively new to GnuCash, so I only had to go through six
months' worth of transactions.
Lesson learned.

John,
That is exactly what the Opening Balance dialog actually does in
Gnucash (it creates those entries) and once the entries have been
created they are easily edited either from the Opening Balances
register or from the register for the account for which you set the
opening balance, just as you can edit any other transaction.
Yes, Dave, I know. But the OP said that he didn’t use the Opening Balance tab
of the new account dialog, he created an Opening Balance transaction by hand
afterwards. Since he didn’t use the dialog it’s possible he made a mistake and
I instructed him how he might check for one and repair it if he needs to.
