So... I figured the log file(s) between those two should have the missing transactions. But that file is nothing but a sequence of

===== START
===== END

after the header.  Why wouldn't the log have my deleted transactions in it?

So I was able to track down the missing transaction. What had actually happened was that I had apparently edited it (obviously in error) and change the account on a payment to a credit card. That removed it's reconciled state in the bank account from which the payment had been made (naturally, it was no longer against that account). I did that the painful way by unpacking the two gnucash files and doing diff, that tracking through the diffs.

I'm still puzzled by the log file. I read through some of the gnucash docs and realize that scheduled transactions are special beasts and that those don't show up in the logs, but an edit like this I thought would. My immediate problem is solved, but...I'd like to know what sort of things the logs can help me with since it wasn't as useful as I expected for this case.
