With the pointy-clicky file manager, you need to turn on "Hidden Files".  
Under UNIX/Linux, files whose names start with a dot (.) are "hidden" by 
default.  As others have said, there should be a directories (called "folders" 
in the pointy-clicky world) named .gnucash and .aqbanking.  You need to copy 
the files there to simularly named files in your Linux Home directory 
(folder).
