Permissions / ownership.  If she extracts the files and unzip preserves
the ownership and if the ownership UIDs don't match her operating UID,
the file won't be writable (unless they have world (other) write access
to begin with [NOT a good idea]).

You should be warned: unless you are carefully coordinating things, only
ONE of you should be writing to Gnucash's files.  Otherwise you are
going to lose transactions or otherwise cause problems.  It probably is
a *good* thing that your partner is only able to open the file read-only.
