I think that if you can open the same file on the Linux version then
it is not bad xml in the file.  Are you using the same version of
GnuCash (2.2.9 or whatever)?  It is displayed on the startup splash
screen.

Alternatively are you certain you have copied the correct file?  You
could try opening it explicitly in the Linux version (File, Open) to
check.
