Judging from the errors below, you have an account without a currency.
You have a couple options:

1) Edit your gnucash data file with a text editor and find a=20
   <gnc:account> block without a <act:currency> block inside
   of it. When you find it, add the act:currency block by
   copying from another account.

2) Restore from your most recent .xac backup file.

--load is for loading scheme scripts, not data files.
