It is because you have an existing Gimp user profile in ~/.config  When the flatpak Gimp is first run it fails to create the flatpak user profile folders.

The solution is 
1. Temporarily rename your old Gimp profile to disable it ~/.config/GIMP-backup
2. Delete the flatpak Gimp user profile ~/.var/app/org.gimp.GIMP/config/GIMP
3. Run the flatpak Gimp to create a new User profile.
(if needed for an old Gimp rename the ~./config one back)

Best of luck with that RemBG. Has anyone got it to work ?

Thanks for the response.....Ended up uninstalling and reinstalling No error messages.
Really wish someone would come up with a precise way way to get RemBG to work in Linux.
