If _no one_ is connected:
1. Make a copy of the db
2. run gfix -m ... ...
This might make the db 'backupable'
3. Backup with gbak
If this is successful you could restore and compare (you already have a
suspect - the table where gbak stopped).

Are you sure that the gbak is not an old version? Are gds32/fbclient
correct version?
I've no experience with RedHat (or Linux, for that matter...)
Isn't there some steps you can take to recoever a database, outlined
somewhere on the IBPhoenix site? Or IbSurgeon?
