    Are you literally typing the the phrase "account name" ... or are you typing the the name of the target account there?
    Also, what's the name of that target account?

    How exactly are you entering the Transfer transactions - both should work ....
    A - the Account Register and [dest acct] syntax in the Category column .... as shown above ...
    B - the Account Register GEAR and Transfer Money menu item... as shown below ...
