I believe you were on the right track, however I believe what you  
need to change is a line in your gnumed.conf or gnumed-client.conf  
file located in your invisible (hidden) folder

        /home/<user>/.gnumed/

and in this file to alter where it says

        [profile GNUmed database on this machine (Linux/Mac)]
        ...
        database = gnumed_v9

change _v9 into

        database = gnumed_v8
