GnuCash 2.4.7 fails to download stock quotes on Mac OS 10.7 (Lion)

I followed the work around instructions at 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=655059
to get Gnucash running on lion and ran 
	$sudo ./gnc-fq-update

But I cannot download stock quotes.

If I use the terminal an go into Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin
then the following works:

> echo '(yahoo "AAPL")' | ./gnc-fq-helper 
(("AAPL" (symbol . "AAPL") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2011-07-26 16:00:00") (last . 403.41) (currency . "USD")))

In Gnucash, when I open the price editor window and click get quotes, 
an error box appears with

"There was a system error while retrieving the price quotes"

In the console, the follow log message appears right after trying to get quotes:

7/26/11 10:20:30.705 PM [0x0-0x382382].org.gnucash.Gnucash: Jul 26 22:20:30 imac.home Gnucash-bin[19219] <Error>: clip: empty path.


Any suggestions on tracking down the issue?

Thanks,

Vince
