Does not convert Category

When I ran the script on 11/30/2016, none of the categories in the Mint CSV appeared in the YNAB CSV. I guess this is because YNAB can have wildly different Categories based on who you are?

Also, bizarrely, even if I do Import a category that exists in YNAB, it will sometimes ignore it and instead put it in the Memo with a - seperating the category and what is in the Memo field of the CSV. It doesn't happen for everything though, very strange.

Actually, it seems to only not import a category if it was one of the original categories YNAB created for me. If I created my own Master Category and then assigned inside of that a subcategory, they import correctly.

Actually it is even more bizarre than that. I had to have my Master Category named "Misc" for importing to work. Not sure if it is just a coincidence, but it worked for me.
