I am just trying to collect some thoughts.  First of all, I see these
"[qof_commit_edit()] unbalanced call - resetting (was -1)" in my log
files too, so I hope to eventually fix them some day.  I will also try
to look at the read-only issue that seems to appear in several
functions.  Meanwhile, please try to remove the read-only flag from your
data file after copying it to your hard disk.  You may have wondered why
GnuCash fails writing a file if you only tried to open it.  It is trying
to convert it from 1.8.x to 2.0.x (that may be as easy as appending
encoding="utf8" to the first line), making a backup and writing the
result to disk.

Regarding GnuCash not showing anything, have you tried File->New->New
Accounts Page?  And can you save and load your data file both,
compressed and uncompressed, on Windows now?

If that all does not help, feel free to send me your file privately.
