~/.gnucash/ is GnuCash's directory to store application information.

In particular, ~/.gnucash/books/filename is used to save meta-data about
datafiles named "filename".  By using this meta-data file as your
datafile, gnucash writes the data out, then writes the meta-data,
trashing the original file.

Don't save anything in ~/.gnucash/.  Put it in ~/documents/finances/ or
something.
