I see you're using Linux. You can also achieve this with symlinks. 

On your main computer (the one with the correct qif-accounts-map), move the file into a folder in Dropbox which will be shared between the computers. Then make a symlink from your gnucash directory to the file. It might go something like this, after first shutting down gnucash! 

mv .gnucash/qif-accounts-map Dropbox/gnucash-shared/qif-accounts-map
ln -s ~/Dropbox/gnucash-shared/qif-accounts-map ~/.gnucash/qif-accounts-map

Check its there with 'ls -al .gnucash'

When you start Gnucash, it should be fooled into thinking the file is in the correct place. 

Now sync dropbox across your computers, remove the existing qif-accounts-map file and replace it with a symlink. 

I do this with an sqlite database which holds my Time Tracker data, and it works very well.
