I am trying to import a private key into Bitcoin-QT 0.9.1.

In console I did the following:

Code:
walletpassphrase "YourLongPassphrase" 600
importprivkey <bitcoinprivkey>

In receiving addresses, my address shows now that it imported. However, my wallet balance does not include this newly added bitcoin address. It is fully synced at the latest block. If I go to blockchain.info and view the address, it shows bitcoin in it. It just will not show in Bitcoin-QT. I have tried to close the wallet and re-open it, and it is still not showing the balance.

Any suggestions?

Awesome, that worked! Took about 10 minutes before it finally opened, but it's good to go now. Thanks!
