Well, I said "non-negative", not "non-zero", but that's okay.  This
shows that yes, it's actually loading this file.   What do you get
from:

  ldd /usr/local/lib/gnucash/libgncmod-business-backend-file.so

Ah, okay.  Just making sure that this wasn't a dual-installation,
what with gnucash-2.0 and gnucash-2.1 trying to co-exist.

Unfortunately I'm at a loss for why it's failing.  I suggest running
gnucash under gdb and trying to trace the file opening/reading to see
why it's failing for you but nobody else.
