Custom Reports?

OK, so back in November, I sent the email below. I still can’t get this to work, and nobody offered suggestions.

Hi,

In the course of digging around my GnuCash installation (GC2.6.14, OSX10.11.6), I noticed a copy of Phil L’s Budget comparison report (psl-budget.scm) sitting in ~/Library/Application Support/Gnucash, along with config.user which included the text “(load “psl-budget.scm”)”. 

Per the wiki on custom reports, this should load the report PSL-Budget upon startup. However, when I run GnuCash, I do not see this report in any menus. I tried changing config.user to read "(load (gnc-build-dotgnucash-path “psl-budget.scm”))” again, per the wiki, but it did not change the results. THe report doesn’t load. Neither are there any errors at the console when I run GnuCash. It appears that the report is entirely ignored by the startup.

For testing purposes, I tried copying the file into the GnuCash main bundle, first into:
  /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/share/gnucash/scm/gnucash/report (with no change in result) 
and next into:
  /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/share/gnucash/scm/gnucash/report/standard-reports (with major crash and many errors, which I can post if it helps)

So, my question is: does anyone know why I am unable to get the report to load? What am I missing?

TIA,
David
