Ok, that's how I understood as well. So I can only assume the two application data directories are "GnuCash" and "Gnucash" (different capitalization of the letter "C"). For 2.6 this directory was called "Gnucash" and in the 3.x series I renamed it to "GnuCash". That was under the belief that MacOS' file system was still case-insensitive/case-preserving so it would be an innocent no-op for most users. IIRC you recently told me it no longer is so this will affect people migrating to a more recent gnucash version.
