Chronosync is another app that needed some work to integrate smoothly with Catalina. This excerpt from their email to users explains:
<< The Catalina Split Catalina introduces a new APFS feature called ‘Volume Groups’. Under Catalina, Apple takes advantage of this ability and splits the boot volume into two components: System and Data. The System volume is read-only and contains all the operating system files that should never change during use of the computer. The Data volume contains everything else, including the user’s home folders. Through a new Apple feature known as firmlinks, the two volumes are linked together to appear as one volume to the user, so you will only see one drive on your Mac. However, there really are two distinct boot volumes mounted. You can see the two volumes using Disk Utility or by mounting the drive on an older macOS. If running a bootable backup, we strongly recommend starting fresh with a new backup volume and not to copy over your old bootable backup volume. Read the ChronoSync Catalina Tech Note for all the details. >> This may have no relevance at all, but if your version of GnuCash "needs" to alter a specific file in the System folder (which is doubtful, but possible) Catalina may be using a "hard link" instead of the underlying file. The devs would know. I'm not sure, but it looks like Apple is re-inventing the old LVM and calling it something different. It's usually good to separate boot OS from data (Unix welcomes Apple to 1998!), but this might not be the way to do it. Better to just mount them in separate LVM containers/volumes, and snapshot them. What type of CPU does system information report on your mac? The error message "Bad CPU type in executable" might be Catalina seeing a CPU call from GnuCash (amd64 bit i7, usually) as something else.
