Here is what apparently happened that I could no longer save changed or
added gnucash data. I don't remember specifying where to store data when I
first installed gnucash years ago. Apparently it stored the files in a
hidden folder called opt or /opt. I never saw this folder until someone

I'm with D on this one. /opt isn't the best spot for user documents. It's
completely hidden from the Finder and will require you to jump hurdles at every
step. It really doesn't want you doing things there.
Turning SIPS off is generally bad. Turning SIPS off temporarily may be
necessary. Some o
If anyone wants to experiment with this, it is possible to selectively
enable and disable specifics parts of SIP:

Apple OS X combined two types of kernels, bsd and mach, but is

Not only that, while Darwin (the underlying unix core of all Apple operating

Why are you storing your book in /opt?
That should more likely be in your /Users directory along with the rest of your
own files. (or on some other volume)
Catalina separated your internal system drive into 2 partitions. Check Disk

And yet, still unanswered is why a user would put their data files into /opt in
the first place...

I am fuzzy on the details, but one of the changes in catalina (as a way to

Whether the application files are placed in /opt by MacPorts, or /Applications
by the user has no bearing on the location of the data files. Those are usually
placed in the user's folders.

This doesn’t sound right.
I use MacPorts, and MacPorts puts all if its files under /opt. I haven’t seen
ant references on the MacPorts mailing list to /opt being reserved under SIP.

It might be worth asking why OP is using /opt for their data files in the first
place. It is more usual for users to place their personal files in the /users
hierarchy (i.e., ~/).
