Glen,

One thing you haven’t mentioned yet is what version of GnuCash you’re running.

When the GnuCash icon gets turned into a question mark or is greyed out, is 
Options>Show in Finder available from the context menu? If it is, what does it 
point to?

Check to make sure that you have only one Gnucash.app installed by running 
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister
 -dump | grep Gnucash.app

from the terminal prompt (Terminal is in /Applications/Utilities).

Regards,
John Ralls
