Without some additional details about your operating system it's hard to 
tell what goes wrong exactly...

But my first guess would be that you used the sqlite backend when you first created the older data files. GnuCash depends on libdbi and its various database drivers for sqlite, mysql or postgresql access (the "backends"). When you reinstalled gnucash you may have forgotten to install the proper libdbi database drivers.
