I think the problem comes from the fact that your Investment Action code does not end in "X."
From the Wikipedia page on QIF format:

Investment Actions track common investment activities such as Dividends, Reinvestment of income, and Capital Gains (CG). Codes that end in X indicate that the transaction was generated by the account, but the cash is transferred to a different account (in which case the Category field is the destination account name). Action codes include: CGLong (Capital Gains Long Term), CGLongX, CGMid, CGMidX, CGShort, CGShortX, Div, DivX, IntInc, IntIncX, MargInt, MargIntX, RtnCap, RtnCapX, XIn, XOut, Added, Removed, StkSplit

In clear, I suspect that you have this line in your QIF file:

while you should have

So, a transaction should look like

You can write a script to change your QIF file and use that as an QIF import filter (see manual). Post back if you need help with that.
