Something you can do to at least open your data file is start gnucash  
with the command
gnucash --nofile
when it opens, Choose Edit/Preferences, click on the Scheduled  
Transactions tab, and make sure the "Run when data file opened" option  
under Since Last Run Dialog heading is NOT checked. Close the  
Preferences dialog.

Then you should be able to use the file menu to open your data file.  
You probably can open the scheduled transaction editor to (just don't  
choose the  menu item Since Last Run). At this point, you can choose  
whether you want to delete selected SX's  and hope the rest work, or  
delete them all and start over with SX definitions.
