Nothing actually opened when I did this  and I cannot tell whether an update actually took place.  When I open GnuCash it still shows the version as 2.4.5.  Should it now read 2.4.8 to signify that the update has actually taken effect?

Read the instructions. It's in the very first paragraph of the Readme, included in the dmg and linked on Gnucash's home page: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOSX/2.4.8/Readme
