It worked!
After transferring shares between accounts, I did a direct connect
download from the new account. I deleted all downloaded transactions
then did a direct connect again. The second time the share balances were
in agreement. Hope this information is useful for anyone else thinking
about transferring shares between accounts that have Quicken direct
connect activated.
