Incorrect BTC balance: Importing blockchain.info private key into bitcoin-qt

[telemeh]

Hi, gurus. I have a blockchain.info wallet with 2 addresses. One of them has 0.1 bitcoins in it. I exported 2 private keys from my blockchain.info wallet and imported them into bitcoin-qt using importprivkey command. After restarting bitcoin-qt client, the 2 addresses show up in "receive coins" list as expected, however the overall wallet balance shows as 0.00. I expected it to be 0.10. Any ideas?

Same problem here.
Exported and re-imported private keys successfully in MultiBit 0.5.14.
But when I try and import those private keys in bitcoin-qt 0.8.5 using this procedure: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/How_to_import_private_keys_v7%2B
they end up in the "receive" list, but the wallet's balance always shows 0, even after restart, or after new blocks were received.
(I verified those addresses again in MultiBit and blockchain.info and they do have positive unspent balances.)

All this seems fairly basic to me. What can I be doing wrong?

Thanks!

You can try running Bitcoin-Qt with the rescan command line option.

For the record.. in my case it was just a question of time..
On my computer Bitcoin-qt takes a good 20min, looking just as if it was frozen, to import a private key.

Sorry for the non-issue.
