This begs the question:  Why are you doing this?  Why not just backup the
data file, then run tools -> Close Books to zero out your income/expense
accounts, and then continue on with the same data file?  Why start over
from scratch?

GnuCash happily deals with multiple years of data; the reports happily
report for you.  And if you separate it that way, it makes it very hard to
go back and look at previous years' data.  It seems like a lot of work,
unless you have some external force requiring you to start over?
