HI Jim,

The only thing I can think, if you have the backup files is the following:

1. start gnucash as normal, with the file with the bogus txns in it.

2. turn off the "auto-run" for the Scheduled transactions -:
 Edit -> Preferences -> Scheduled Txn tab -> uncheck "run when data file 
opened"

3. File -> open a backup

4. Amend the offending SX template, re-enable the auto run, File -> SaveAs... 
the original data name.

5. Quit and try a normal start-up.

HTH,
Maf.
