Maybe it is a metadata file... I do have many of the <filename>.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.gnucash files in the same directory as the <filename>.gnucash file. They all give the same error. There are also .txt files with the same names.
I recovered the data with EaseUS Data Recovery. I am attempting to recover the same data with a different program at the moment, in case that's the issue. .gnucash files are all between 70kb and about 140kb.
