Just to clarify:

Running gbak with service manager parameter (-se), connecting to the
Classic Server on the Mac, fails to back up the datafile.
In fact, the command just exits with no error or message.
Removing the -se parameter, the backup works.

All the documentation says that the Service Manager is available in
the Classic Server from 1.5.1.
So, is there something else that needs to be configured at the server
end to get this to work?
