import chart of accounts

I am trying to import my chart of accounts and I have the .cvs file setup and when I go to import it, there are no red boxes around any of the accounts, but it keeps saying 0 of 376 accounts imported, We found some problems and couldn't import your data.  Fix the info in the highlighted fields and try again.  Except none of the fields are highlighted, so there is nothing to fix.  Any ideas how I can get this imported?

Why doesn't quickbooks import tool just work, why should I have to use a 3rd party tool to import my chart of accounts?  It doesn't show my .csv file has any errors when I import the file.
