There are a couple issues. Yahoo Europe returns data differently from  
the rest of the Yahoo worldwide financial sites.

Which version of finance-quote are you using. 1.15 is significantly  
better than prior versions for things relating to yahoo europe.

And finance-quote doesn't purport to support fund quotes at Yahoo- 
Europe, just stocks.

There's a patch on the gnucash mailing lists that I wrote which  
appears to solve this problem for me and a few European users who have  
tried it. Finance-quote upstream hasn't been particularly receptive.
