This is a known bug. I have been using a password protected file and using
scheduled updates (or OSU) for many years. Mid-2007 this feature stopped
working. Rebuilding the pin vault doesn't help. I just upgraded to Q2008
(it was free after $60 rebate) hoping the problem would be fixed in the new
release, but to by continuing disappointment, the problem still exists.
This can be found on the Intuit Web site under support for Q2008:
Topic title:
Error: "An error has occurred with the last download session" or Scheduled
Update is not working
Topic description:
If you have a password protected Quicken file, the Scheduled Update feature
does not work properly.
The most common error message is:
An error has occurred with the last download session.
Intuit is aware of this issue and investigating possible solutions.
Currently, the only solutions are either to remove the file password or do
not use the Scheduled Update feature.
This page will be updated when additional information is available. If you

Intuit has been aware of this for quite some time. They broke this feature
with one of their release upgrades. I'm surprised they have not been able
to implement a fix. I can only imagine that this broke as the result of
closing some type of security vulnerability and fixing it without
re-exposing the vulnerability is problematic.
