After playing around with the accounts for a while I was able to get the
import wizard to show up during the import for the Checking acct, instead of
the error. But I coulnd't get the wizard to show up for the Savings ofx file
import. So I just deleted BOTH of the accounts and started again....and it
worked!
For the benefit of others who may suffer the same problem:
1. Delete both accounts.
2. Set up "new" Checking account and import .ofx file.
3. Import the Savings acct ofx file, and hit "new" on the import wizard.
Luckily I don't have a lot of data to be reconciled.
