This error message is raised because an account is being set as it's own parent. This is a cyclic relationship and it is not supported by the system.

This is the system expected behavior.

To avoid the error from the import, make sure that the accounts are not set as their own parent in the data workbench file.

Since cyclic relationships are not supported, also make sure that this parent relation is not set even indirectly.
