I wonder if the problem is that the share is not mounted yet (even though 
Windows shows it in the list of available drives). I remember having similar 
issues with a commercial database like that.

So what happens if you first double click on the "Finanzas" shared folder in 
your explorer window to explicitly mount the shared folder, and only then 
select open in GnuCash ?
