It appears you're doing a direct file access to the DB - I hope it's on the
machine you're trying to do this from!

You should always put the server name in the connection string:
isql -u USER -p PASS "servername:c:/progra...etc.etc.../pos.fdb"

If you mix direct file access, and TCP/IP via servername/path/to/db, you
will wreck databases!

(Unless things have changed in the last two years...)
