I got this same error on OS X with GnuCash 2.4.3.  When I tried to open
a new accounts DB, the file chooser dialog appears and I get to select
my file.  The problem is if I use click on the modified column header to
sort by date, the filename I clicked on is NOT the filename the GC tries
to load.

e.g. clicked on myaccounts.gnucash and it chose myaccounts.pdf.

If I do not sort, the the correct file is chosen and loaded by GC.

This may or may not be the issue you are seeing ??

Brendan.
