Adrien, that was it.I exported the accounts to a CSV. Edited the file, removed all accounts but the one I wanted to duplicate. Edited those account lines with the new name and imported back into GNUCash. BAM! Just what I was after. :)

Then I looked at exporting and importing an account tree, but again, while export is possible, I don't see how to import a partial tree. Best of luck.
