Let's change the question, and then you might see the answer. Because 
your gnucash data file (your gnucash books)  is just a special case of a 
more general "move between computers".

Let's say you have a file that is a document produced by a word 
processor on your old computer. How do you move THAT to your Mac and how 
do you then access if from the a word processor app on your Mac? Why do 
you think THIS (moving the file that is your gnucash books) would be any 
different? OK now? Note that if you don't know how to do this, moving 
your gnucash file is just the tip of the iceberg.

Besides, Martin, if you are migrating from using your old computer to 
this Mac, why do you want to move each of your user files (all your 
documents, all your pictures, your book marks, etc, etc, (and of course 
your gnucash data file) one file at a time? > Shouldn't you rather be 
asking "I'm going from this non-Mac PC to a Mac.How do I migrate all my 
user data?" Note that I am assuming (though you didn't say) that the 
from computer is not also a Mac and is not running under a 'nix 
operating system.
