Mac upgrade, "There was an error parsing the file ..."

[David Dannemiller]

I've been using gnuCash for several years.  I upgraded to a new Mac, so upgraded gnuCash.  The new version will not open my old file.

Old config:
	iBook G4 (PPC)
	Mac OS 10.5.8
	gnuCASH 1.8.11 (obtained from Fink)

New config:
	MacBookPro (Intel)
	Mac OS 10.6.3
	gnuCASH 2.2.9 (obtained from http://www.gnucash.org/download.phtml)

When starting version 2.2.9, I get the following error message:

	"There was an error parsing the file /Users/..."

Here is what I have tried so far:

1) I went back to the old machine and ran "Actions / Check & Repair / Check & Repair All", and brought the files to the new machine.  Same error message.

2) I deleted the .gnucash folder.  Same error message.

3) A previous post mentioned problems caused by spaces in file names.  I had a space in one folder name in the path, but got rid of it.  The full path name now contains no spaces.  Same error message.

3) A previous post asked that the trace file be posted.  I can't find a trace file on my Mac.

Any help is appreciated.
