Try to rename the file. IB / FB keeps all files of the DB open. If you can
change the name of the gdb, then it's yours. If someone connects to the
renamed file however you are goosed, but I'm sure you can put business
practice to work here.

I go from jac.fdb -> jac.xdb.

Just low tech but it works for me.
