problems retrieving transactions

I am a new user of FM and find it very useful. However, now I have lost some ability to automatically retrieve new transactions correctly. I set up a portfolio to represent one Fidelity account. The FM portfolio has three sub-portfolios, one each for stocks, stock mutual funds, and bonds. Originally I set up the data using transaction retrieval into one portfolio - retrieval worked well for this. Then I separated the investments into the three portfolios and I am having trouble.

If I issue 'retrieve transactions' with the portfolio marked as the active portfolio I can see that there are three separate calls to Fidelity and three returns. The only thing that shows up on the preview screen is a single dividend re-investment, but that is already in one of the sub-portfolios.

If I mark one of the sub-portfolios as the active portfolio and retrieve transactions, nothing shows on the preview scree. However, if I look at ofxretr.txt at least one purchase and multiple distributions are listed there.

Could it be that FM is getting confused about which sub-portfolio to check to see if the entry in ofxretr is for an investment in that sub-portfolio?

What do you suggest I do? Thank you for any help. Since I am a new user, I may have overlooked the obvious.

PS - Is there a viewer for ofxretr? As a text file it is unreadable. Viewed as an XML file it is readable with difficulty.
