service?

If the EventLog does not shed any light on why it does not work, you
might want to consider using dependencies, two dependencies that jump
to mind are:

FirebirdGuardianDefaultInstance
Tcpip

As you can't specify the start order for services, you could be in a
position where your service is starting prior to the Firebird or
TCP/IP services are starting.
