\\servername\C:\Program Files\Foo.fdb is a *local* path for FB, thus
it will use the locally running firebird server to open a database
over a network
connection (which FB is not even aware of, because it's "hidden" by
the filesystem).

But I thought you couldn't "share" you Program Files dir?

servername:C:\Program Files\Foo.fdb is a remote database. The FB client
library will connect to the FB server running on the machine "servername"
via TCP/IP, and this FB server there will open the (from the server's point
of view) local file C:\Program Files\Foo.fdb.

Ther error description sounds more like some domain/OS user issues, though.
