The dialog I get says "The variable gnc_fq_update is not defined."  It gives me an edit button and an ok button.  Ok doesn't do anything obvious.  Edit brings up an AppleScript editor with the code required to start F::Q update.  That is, this code:

Did you copy GnuCash.App from the DMG to your Applications folder?
