It should. When sync() is called, the data is synced to the server
and then the server called gnc_book_save(). If the client exists
cleanly, book_end() will then call the server which calls
gnc_book_end(). Also, when the client disconnects, regardless of
whether they 'saved' or not, or even exited cleanly, the server calls
gnc_book_destroy().
