Thanks, Adrien,

With your help, I’ve now completed the transfer of these accounts, so my 
earlier setup has been superseded.

I suspect you may be right, in that not all (and perhaps none) of these 
sub-accounts would have had transactions in them, but I’m fairly sure that 
there were transactions in the CSV for the sub-accounts when everything in the 
Liabilities tree was exported, rather than the selective export of a branch.

I’ll have to go to a backup from yesterday and experiment with it to see if 
that’s what’s been going on. Maybe later...

Regards,

Michael
