Dixon,
likely you have been bitten by the new XP feature system file recovery.
XP will make a backup of every system file when it's first touched. The
decision whether or not a file is a system file is based upon it's
extension, *.gdb is one of them.
You can do a few things about that:
Find the hidden file FileList.xml in C:\WINDOWS\system32\Restore and delete
the line <REC>GDB</REC> so that GDB file are not included in system file
recovery anymore.
or
Switch that feature off altogether for the partition where the file resides
or
Rename your database to say *.fdb
or
....
