Interesting. If it opens in 2.2.9 it's definitely an XML file. They're pulling from Github instead of using tarballs, but that's the commit where I bumped the version number.

Do try installing libdbd-sqlite3... ISTR that it was possible for the backend to fail and emit that message on an XML file if Gnucash was built with --enable-dbi but the sqlite3 driver wasn't installed.
