After frustrations and the inability to wait on this connection, we implemented the use of accountingcrunch.net.  It connects to QBO and QB desktop applications and creates a trial balance file that can be imported into Proseries.  Not only does it provide the solution to connect QBO, but it addresses the issue of having to annually remap the chart of accounts for QB desktop files.  Highly recommend as it has grossly cut down on steps involved in importing a trial balance into business returns.
