I didn't get an ARGS entry in the console log.
So, what I did was to add the following line:
echo ARGS $* > $HOME/args.txt
Then, when I run Gnucash.app from the Finder the file $HOME/args.txt  
is not created.
Such file is created only when I run the Gnucash script from the  
terminal.
I would say the Gnucash script is not called when running Gnucash.app  
from the Finder... ?

What do you reckon?
