Argh, you and I got bit by the same bug. I beat my head on it for about
2 hours yesterday and finally found the problem. In my case it was
trying to read /usr/local/firebird/firebird.conf and didn't have read
permission.

I filed a bug report asking for error messages to stderr from isql.
Apparently they DO get logged to syslog. Documentation anyone?
