Error opening version 1.8.7 datafile with head

[Derek Atkins]

Replying to old email.. 

Using the --load option tells gnucash to "load this as a scheme file"
so what you're really doing is passing gnucash an XML file but telling
it to load it as a scheme file.  This is obviously failing.

If you want to get gnucash to load a specific data file at runtime
off the command-line, you want:

  gnucash /data/Finances/TestDatafile

-derek
