I'm having what I thought was a similar problem. In my case it turned out to be an issue with Dropbox in macOS 12.3. I keep my Gnucash data in a shared directory on Dropbox because I sometimes run it on both Linux and macOS. The syncing is pretty much broken right now. The files are there on the Mac, but they're all 0 bytes.
If it were just a single file I could tell it to store it locally, but since I have the whole log there I don't trust it to work. I'll just work with it on Linux until they get it fixed.
