I have found a the solution.

All the documentation seems to be wrong on this point.

The UDF directory is not related to the root location of the fmebed.dll
but to the root location of the application you run.

In my case:
c:\fbbedded has all firebird stuff, also the default UDF
d:\myapp has the application

To get the UDF to work I have to create 'd:\myapp\UDF'
