No suitable backend was found for /Volumes/Secure/GnuCash2016/Personal2016.gnucash

[Eric Beversluis]

I’ve recently moved to Mac Sierra. Have been using GnuCash successfully there. This morning when I opened gnucash I got this message: 

No suitable backend was found for /Volumes/Secure/GnuCash2016/Personal2016.gnucash

??

Only thing I can think is that I moved some older versions of my GnuCash files to trash. Had several sitting in other places as a result of the move and of setting up the encrypted image /Volumes/Secure. 

I seem to be able to open one of the backups, Personal2016.gnucash.20170927131325.gnucash. But when I try to save it as Personal2016.gnucash, after having moved the original Personal2016.gnucash to trash, I get the same “No suitable backend” error.

Also strange: Mac or GnuCash or something is creating these two zero byte files:

    Personal2016.gnucash.20170927131325.gnucash.0.1139.LNK
    Personal2016.gnucash.20170927131325.gnucash.LCK
