Now this is going to sound really stupid, but here's the solution:

I was running Ultimate Linux 2.7 (Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx) on an old computer, but I had upgraded HOMEBANK to 4.3 on that machine. That revision read my .xhb file just fine, (I've been using HB for years), numerous times as I saved it to a thumb drive, and then wrote the file to various machines using the new HOMEBANK 4.3.

When I updated my OS to Ultimate Linux 2.8 (Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat) on a new PC, it installed HOMEBANK 4.2.1 and that's when the trouble started. Now when HB 4.2.1 tries to read my HB 4.3 .xhb file it reports it as not being a 'valid' HomeBank file.

I going to upgrade to 4.3 and that should solve the problem...if not...I'll be back!
