[GNC] Problem changing report configuration location

[Mark Itzcovitz]

Hi David,

Thanks for the thought, but that's not the problem.  I changed the
value of GNC_DATA_HOME to C:\Temp and it still doesn't work.

>From Process Monitor I can see that it's reading my environment.local
but it's going straight to the default location when it opens
saved-reports-2.8.
