Provide the full path, which is /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-dump if you put GnuCash in /Applications.

If gnc-fq-dump works, try also 
  echo ‘(source “STCK”)’ | /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-helper
substituting a real source and stock symbol. That may complain about a missing Date::Manip which you can install from CPAN:
  sudo cpan install Date::Manip
It will prompt you for your password.
