I have a similar problem in Ubuntu 16.04 with release 2.6.17 from some repo. I can open that instance of GnuCash remotely from Windows 7 via SSH and if Ubuntu is already running with the file server where the data resides already mounted, everything works.
If I want to change to a different data file on the same server, I have a problem, because the GnuCash file open dialog cannot seem to get to run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where it has already opened the current data file. If I sit at the Ubuntu user desktop I can navigate to that server and see all the sub-folders and files and click on them to open them with GnuCash, but my goal is to do it remotely with SSH. I tried starting nautilus remotely through SSH once but that hosed Windows so badly that I had to re-boot Windows.
