If not using Embedded, but Server + Client, then you are seeing the
built-in protection that Firebird has against the "bad connection string"
bug that plagues InterBase.

Check the Path component of the connection strings involved. If one client
attaches using correct path syntax, e.g. d:\vl2\data\cfldata.gdb, and
another tries to attach using e.g. d:vl2\data\cfldata.gdb then it won't be
able to. Same story if the first connection used the second path syntax -
it will cause attachments with correct path strings to be blocked.

Tip: I've discovered the bad string often shows up in carelessly
configured BDE aliases or ODBC datasources.
