Try the next xac file back in time.  If that still fails then I think
it must be a problem with the gnucash install.  I would try
uninstalling it and re-installing.  Just make sure you keep a copy of
the accounts file.

Actually before that it might be worth making a new file (File New I
think).  Save that as another name, shut down and re-open gnucash.  It
should then open the new file.  If it gets a parse error then I think
it must be an install problem.

By the way, which version of gc are you using?  2.2.9 is the current
stable version.  2.3.x is the ongoing development version.
