You did not mention OS/Distro ...

How did you recover the files?
Are you sure you recovered your data files and not your "metadata" files? 
Trying to open a metadata file as a data file will definitely cause this
error.

Something else to look at:  How large is the file you recovered?
Do you have any files named <filename>.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.gnucash in the same
directory as <filename>.gnucash?
