Problem found, it's the port number. I changed the way zebedee is
started on the client, from:

zebedee 3051:WEBGAPAX:3050

to:

zebedee 3050:WEBGAPAX:3050

And this solved the problem. Because the client port is now 3050,
(IB/FB default port), this number doesn't need to be in the
connection string anymore, making it
simpler: "localhost:/path/to/mydatabase.gdb"

BTW, benchmarks show very good results thanks to the compression.
Zebedee is THE BOMB ;-)
