I have some problems helping you:

- I cannot access the linked stuff, perhaps zipping
would help and trying to get the error messages as text

- I don't know Cold Fusion MX

On the other hand, most charset/collation problems
have a common cause.

For a quick test I suggest, just switching to the FB1.5.1 release
candidate at:
http://www.firebirdsql.org/download/prerelease/1.5.1/

Does everything magically starts working?

Yes => Congrats!

No => Find a way to set the connection character set in
your software.

As Firebird never will look at your system's setting to set
the connection charset.

If that still doesn't work, I strongly encourage you, to
do tests in a simplfied setup, running all SQL scripts mimicking
the real use with ISQL or some of the 3rd party tools.
